Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Bispectral index and A-line AAI index as guidance for desflurane-remifentanil anaesthesia compared with a standard practice group: a multicentre study.
This study was designed to investigate the impact of bispectral index (BIS) or A-line AAI index (based on middle-latency auditory evoked potential) monitoring on recovery times and drug consumption when compared with standard anaesthetic practice during desflurane-remifentanil anaesthesia. ⋯ Compared with standard anaesthetic practice BIS and AAI guided titration to the used target ranges did not result in a reduction of desflurane consumption or recovery times during minor surgery with use of remifentanil.
