Awareness in Old Aged Patients During Laryngoscopy and Intubation Using Isolated Forearm Technique

NCT05019560

Phase 4 Completed 50 enrolled Ain Shams University
RandomizedParallel-groupTriple-blindDiagnostic

Summary

Awareness during general anesthesia - that has an incidence between 0.1% and 0.9% of cases and may be more in elderly - remains a concern for anesthesiologists. Awareness experiences range from isolated auditory perceptions to reports of a patient being fully awake, immobilized, and in pain. The isolated forearm technique allows assessment of consciousness of the external world (connected consciousness) through a verbal command to move the hand (of a tourniquet-isolated arm) during intended general anesthesia.
