BIS-Guided Sedation Versus Standard Clinical Sedation During Elective Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation (BIS-ECV-RCT)
Bispectral Index-Guided Sedation Versus Standard Clinical Assessment-Guided Sedation During Elective Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation: A Prospective, Single-Center, Randomized Controlled, Assessor-Blinded Trial
Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is a standard procedure used to restore normal heart rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by delivering a brief electrical shock to the heart. Because the procedure is painful and distressing, patients receive sedation - a controlled state of reduced consciousness - using short-acting intravenous medications. However, the optimal depth of sedation for ECV has not been well defined: too deep may cause breathing problems and low blood pressure, while too light may result in pain, awareness, or patient movement during the shock.
Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring is a non-invasive technology that continuously measures brain activity using an EEG sensor placed on the forehead, generating a numerical score from 0 (no brain activity) to 100 (fully awake). BIS scores between 61 and 80 correspond to moderate sedation, which preliminary observations suggest may be sufficient for ECV without the risks associated with deeper sedation.
This randomized controlled trial will compare two approaches to sedation monitoring during elective ECV for AF:
- Group 1 (BIS Group): Sedation is guided by BIS monitoring, targeting a score of 61-80.
- Group 2 (Control Group): Sedation is guided by standard clinical assessment (loss of response to verbal commands and eyelash reflex), with BIS recorded but not visible to the treating team.
Both groups will receive the same medications (propofol and fentanyl). The primary outcome is how quickly patients recover after the procedure, measured by the Modified Aldrete Score - a standard clinical recovery assessment tool. Secondary outcomes include patient and physician satisfaction, procedural pain, risk of awareness during the procedure, cardioversion success rate, hemodynamic stability, and complication rates.
The trial will enroll 60 adult patients at Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa Cardiology Institute. Findings are expected to provide evidence-based guidance for standardizing sedation protocols during ECV.

Detailní popis
Background:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) is a widely used rhythm control strategy. Procedural sedation is a critical component of ECV; however, the optimal monitoring method and depth of sedation remain undefined. Excessive sedation risks respiratory depression and hemodynamic instability, particularly in patients with structural heart disease, while inadequate sedation may result in patient movement, pain, and procedural awareness.
Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring offers objective, real-time quantification of sedation depth. Preliminary clinical observation at our center suggests that BIS 61-80 provides adequate procedural conditions for ECV with propofol-fentanyl sedation, while deeper sedation (BIS <60) is associated with increased respiratory depression without additional procedural benefit.

Experimentální: BIS-Guided Sedation (BIS Group)
Patients in this group receive sedation with intravenous fentanyl (0.5-1 µg/kg) followed by titrated propofol (0.5-1 mg/kg) guided by continuous BIS monitoring, targeting a BIS range of 61-80.
Cardioversion is initiated once the target BIS range is achieved and clinical endpoints (loss of verbal contact, loss of eyelash reflex) are confirmed.
|
IV propofol 0.5-1 mg/kg titrated to BIS 61-80, preceded by IV fentanyl 0.5-1 µg/kg.
Additional propofol 0.25-0.5 mg/kg boluses as needed for repeat shocks within target range.

Patients in this group receive sedation with intravenous fentanyl (0.5-1 µg/kg) followed by titrated propofol (0.5-1 mg/kg) guided by standard clinical assessment (loss of verbal contact, loss of eyelash reflex).
BIS monitoring is applied but the monitor screen is physically concealed from the treating team.
BIS values are recorded for analysis only.
|
IV propofol 0.5-1 mg/kg titrated to clinical endpoints, preceded by IV fentanyl 0.5-1 µg/kg.
