Observational Study
Comorbidity-dependent changes in alpha and broadband electroencephalogram power during general anaesthesia for cardiac surgery.
Age and comorbidities are reported to induce neurobiological transformations in the brain. Whilst the influence of ageing on anaesthesia-induced electroencephalogram (EEG) changes has been investigated, the effect of comorbidities has not yet been explored. We hypothesised that certain diseases significantly affect frontal EEG alpha and broadband power in cardiac surgical patients. ⋯ NCT02976584.
