In the ENGAGES-Canada trial, patients who received electroencephalography (EEG)-guided anesthesia or usual care during cardiac surgery experienced similar rates of postoperative delirium.

Researchers in Japan conducted a randomized clinical trial in 177 children (age, 1 year to < 6 years; 71% boys) scheduled for elective surgery involving the lower abdomen or extremities to assess ...

Key markers from electroencephalography (EEG) may help track the depth of anesthesia patients' experience with propofol, according to a new study. The researchers hope their findings may lead to more ...

A novel approach to analyze brainwaves during sleep has been developed by researchers, which promises to give a more detailed and accurate depiction of neurophysiological changes than provided by a ...

Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) can include unawareness of surroundings, restlessness, and inconsolability, and can lead to risk of injury and accidental removal of catheters. In this ...

Newly published results of a randomized, controlled clinical trial in Japan among more than 170 children aged 1 to 6 who underwent surgery, show that by using EEG readings of brain waves to monitor ...
