Summary

This study explores a new way to measure anesthesia depth by analyzing chemicals in a patient's exhaled breath. Researchers will enroll 500 adults having surgery to see if breath levels of two anesthetics match standard brain-activity monitors. The goal is to develop a non-invasive method for patients who cannot use current monitors.
