Measurement of Psychomotor Recovery After Anesthesia Using 4CRT

Summary

The aim of the investigation is to validate the SmartPhone-based 4-Reaction Choice Time Test (4CRT) as a measure for recovery of the psychomotor function in patients after general anesthesia. One hundred female patients, scheduled to ambulatory gynecological surgery in general anesthesia, will be randomized to the group with pharmacological anxiolytic premedication with midazolam (N=50) and to the group without midazolam (N=50). All patients will be monitored using 4CRT before and after standardized general anesthesia. The reaction time, measured with 4CRT is the primary outcome parameter of the investigation.
