What this trial studies

This observational study investigates how different general anesthetics affect the electroencephalogram (EEG) patterns in children during surgery. It aims to analyze specific indices derived from processed EEG (pEEG), such as phase-amplitude coupling and bicoherence, to determine their ability to predict anesthesia depth. The study addresses the limitations of current anesthesia depth monitoring methods in pediatric patients, which can lead to risks during surgery. By exploring these EEG changes, the research seeks to improve the safety and effectiveness of anesthesia in children.
