The NARCOguide index - a novel parameter for monitoring depth of hypnosis during anaesthesia/sedation with propofol: A comparison study with the Narcotrend index.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The NARCOguide algorithm calculates an EEG-derived index to monitor the hypnotic component of anaesthesia.

Objective

This study evaluates the accuracy of the index calculated by NARCOguide against the Narcotrend index as a reference. Secondly, the automatic detection of burst-suppression patterns as represented by the burst suppression ratio was compared.

Design

Comparative study to assess the agreement between two medical devices.

Setting

At two study centres, patient data were collected from a total of 40 adults receiving general anaesthesia or sedation with propofol.

Interventions

Patients underwent either general anaesthesia for oral surgery with propofol/remifentanil/rocuronium (study centre 1) or light general anaesthesia/deep sedation w
