Summary

This study tested whether using EEG brain-wave monitoring during general anesthesia helps doctors give just the right amount of medicine. The goal was to see if this approach reduces drug use, shortens time to wake up after surgery, and lowers the risk of short-term thinking problems. About 100 adults having surgery took part, and their thinking was tested before and after the procedure.
