Validation of a Multimodal Indicator of Depth of Anesthesia

September 10, 2018 updated by: Andreas Ranft, Technical University of Munich

A Multicenter Validation Study of a Multimodal Indicator of Anesthesia Calculated From the Electroencephalogram and Standard Monitoring Parameters

The present study is designed to validate an multimodal indicator of anesthetic depth (Schneider G et al. 2014, Anesthesiology 120, 819-28).

The indicator previously developed shall now be tested on an independent set of data.

The investigators will include 250 patients undergoing general anesthesia in 3 German tertiary care centers.

The design is strictly observational - the anesthetic regime is at the discretion of the clinician and will not be influenced.
