Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An accurate dosage of anesthetics during surgery is important. Usually this is achieved through close observation of the patient, but a new monitor (CSM-monitor) can measure the level of anesthesia more closely.

In obese patients dosage of drugs is difficult due to the change in body composition. The CSM-monitor may provide a more accurate dosage of propofol (an anesthetic agent) during surgery, and as a consequence of that, also reduce the postoperative need for analgesics.

Main objective: To optimise propofol dosing in obese patients undergoing hysterectomy.

Main hypothesis: Monitoring the depth of anesthesia using the CSM-monitor reduces time to opening eyes in obese patients after hysterectomy in propofol anesthesia.

Secondary hypotheses: CSM-monitoring reduce propofol dose in obese patients undergoing hysterectomy. Patients with a high CSM-level during hysterectomy have higher postoperative consumption of analgesics. Supplementary, an algorithm for the dose of propofol that most frequently results in a CSM-level between 40 and 60 is calculated.
