TCI Versus Manual TIVA for Sedation During Prone Kyphoplasty: Effects on Respiration, Recovery, and EEG

Brief Summary

This single-center, prospective, observational study compares target-controlled infusion (TCI) versus manually administered total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) for sedation in patients undergoing kyphoplasty in the prone position. The primary endpoints are the incidence of hypoxic episodes (SpO₂ \< 90%) and apneic attacks. Secondary endpoints include anesthesia quality scores, integrated pulmonary index (IPI) values, total propofol consumption, time to eye opening, time to full orientation, Modified Aldrete Scores and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) scores in the recovery unit, and patient and surgeon satisfaction.
