NCT06346158

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to explore the variability of the concentration at the effect site (Ce) of propofol to reach deep anesthesia (DA) during induction of general anesthesia in adults. The investigators hypothesized that there is a great variability in this Ce that could be precisely explained by

  • Electroencephalographic (EEG) features available prior to induction of anesthesia
  • Cognitive performance
  • Patients characteristics Participants will undergo preoperative cognitive testing and awake EEG. Then, induction of general anesthesia will be performed using continuous infusion of propofol. The Ce at which Deep anesthesia is observed will be recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Concentration at the effect-site propofol associated with deep anesthesia (CeDA)

    Concentration at the effect-site propofol as calculated by the Eleveld model required to reach a Bispectral index \< 45 during induction of general anesthesia in micrograms per mL.

    during surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Coefficient of determination between statistical, spectral, entropic features extracted from the electroencephalogram and the Concentration at the effect-site propofol associated with deep anesthesia

    during surgery

  • Coefficient of determination between multivariable model and the Concentration at the effect-site propofol associated with deep anesthesia

    during surgery

  • Mean absolute error between predicted Concentration at the effect-site propofol associated with deep anesthesia by the machine-learning model and observed Concentration at the effect-site propofol associated with deep anesthesia.

    during surgery

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Concentration at the effect-site propofol associated with loss of consciousness (CeLOC)

    during surgery
