Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to determine whether targeting bispectral index (BIS) readings of 55 (light anaesthesia) was associated with a lower incidence of delirium, dementia (POD), POCD and mortality but higher rates of awareness and complications than a standard of care anaesthesia blinded to depth monitoring.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Design: Randomised-controlled, double blind study, monocentric Setting: Level 2 medical center, major surgery (non cardiac) Ethics: Ethical approval for this study (Ethikkommission II der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg 2013-627N-MA) was provided by the Ethical Committee II University Medicine Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Germany (Chairperson Prof W. Striebel) on Mai 12th 2008.

Patients: n=130, aged \> 70y Intervention: Light anesthesia (BIS 55 +/-5) vs. Standard of Care (BIS- blinded) Main outcome measures: Incidence of awareness, delirium, postoperative cognitive deficit (POCD), dementia (POD), memory (MAT with a computerized score for verbal working\&short term, figural working\&short term memories and well as attention level) Second aims: mortality, complications

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Bis Guided light anesthesia

Patients are monitored by bispectral index and held under light anesthesia (BIS level 45 to 60)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BIS guidance of anesthesia

Intervention Type DEVICE

Anesthesia is to be directed to a specific (light) level by the dosage of administered hypnotics and analgesics

Standard of Care

Patients receive standard of care anesthesia, BIS monitor was covered with a blind

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Standard of Care

Intervention Type OTHER

Anesthesia is administered as usual
