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.
