Survey on Patient and Parental Perceptions of EEG-monitoring During Paediatric Anaesthesia Care

April 22, 2025 updated by: KK Women's and Children's Hospital
Electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring during general anaesthesia (GA) is not typically part of standard care during GA. The recent availability of non-invasive commercial EEG monitors for children has made EEG monitoring more popular. Several studies have shown that monitoring EEG while under GA allows customization and titration of GA. However, the usefulness of EEG monitoring in children have not been established. It is a relatively new technology for some and will involve additional costs. The investigators aim to understand the perceptions of participants regarding EEG monitoring during paediatric anaesthesia care by administering a survey before and after GA.
