Can Computer-Controlled sedation reduce breathing risks during spine surgery?

This study compares two ways of giving sedation during kyphoplasty, a procedure to treat spinal fractures, performed while the patient lies face down. One method uses a computer-controlled infusion of the sedative propofol, while the other relies on manual dosing. The main goal is to see which approach leads to fewer episodes of low oxygen or pauses in breathing. The trial also looks at how quickly patients wake up and recover, as well as satisfaction from both patients and surgeons.
