Use of Bispectral Index (BIS) for Monitoring of Total Intravenous Anaesthesia in Pediatric Patients

Terminated 157 enrolled Aalborg University Hospital

RandomizedParallel-groupSingle-blindTreatment

Summary

The objective of the study is to determine wether the use of the Bispectral Index Monitor (BIS) as a method to guide anaesthesia for children in different groups of age, undergoing ear nose and throat surgery anaesthetized with an infusion of Propofol and Remifentanil with an high dose of Remifentanil (0,5-2 mcg/kg/min), can lead to a reduction in the time needed for extubation and in the amount of anesthetics used.
