Brain monitor tested to prevent surgery awareness in indians
NCT ID NCT03571945
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using a brain activity monitor (BIS) during general anesthesia can lower the chance of patients being aware during surgery. It involves 2,000 Indian adults having elective surgery. Half will have anesthesia guided by BIS, the other half by standard gas monitoring. The goal is to see if BIS works as well in Indian patients as it does in Western populations.
