Objective To examine the effect of bispectral index (BIS)-guided anesthesia on the incidence
of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing surgery. Design A systematic …

IMPLICATIONS: The electroencephalographic-based Entropy module seems to be a cost-
equivalent alternative to the bispectral index (BIS) monitor for assessing the level of …

IMPLICATIONS: Monitoring the electroencephalogram with Bispectral Index or spectral
entropy during sevoflurane–sufentanil anesthesia reduces sevoflurane consumption by …

La monitorización de la profundidad de la anestesia es un aspecto particularmente
importante del procedimiento. Permite decidir el tipo y dosis de anestésico administrado de …

ACUTE lung injury (ALI) and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are characterized
by the tendency of peripheral air spaces to collapse, particularly in dependent lung areas …

IMPLICATIONS: The combination etomidate/desflurane resulted in better hemodynamic
stability than a manually controlled infusion of propofol in elderly patients undergoing hip …

IMPLICATIONS: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of high progesterone levels
on anesthetic requirement. We measured progesterone levels before surgery and calculated …

Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis: Most elderly patients with severe to profound hearing loss
are not being referred for cochlear implantation (CI), the only intervention to significantly …

Electroencephalographic monitors of anaesthetic depth are reported to assist anaesthetists
in reducing recovery times. We explored the effect of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring on …

Objective Postoperative analgesia remains a problem, especially in pediatric patients. We
hypothesize that patients anesthetized with sevoflurane have more postoperative pain than …
