Can brain monitoring during anesthesia prevent surgery awareness?

NCT ID NCT07389798

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study reviewed records of 511 adults who had short ear, nose, or throat surgeries under a specific type of anesthesia (remimazolam plus flumazenil). Researchers wanted to see if keeping the brain's activity level (measured by BIS) below 60 during surgery affected the chance of patients being aware. The goal is to find the best anesthesia depth to improve safety and comfort.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

remimazolam and flumazenil

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors choose the best anesthesia depth to reduce the risk of patients being aware during surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a retrospective review, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other types of surgery or anesthesia.
