Comparison of adequacy of anaesthesia monitoring with standard clinical practice monitoring during routine general anaesthesia: An international, multicentre, single-blinded randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have suggested that monitoring the levels of both hypnosis and antinociception could reduce periods of inadequate anaesthesia. However, the evidence regarding associated benefits of this monitoring is still limited.

Objective

The primary objective of this study was to confirm that guidance of anaesthesia by depth of hypnosis and antinociception monitoring decreases the number of inadequate anaesthesia events in comparison with standard clinical practice.

Design

A multicentre, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial.

Setting

The study was conducted in four European University hospitals in four different countries between December 2013 and November 2016.

Patients

The study population consisted of a total of 494 adult patient
