Anesthesia study probes brain waves during surgery
NCT ID NCT00775879
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how a common anesthesia gas, sevoflurane, affects brain wave patterns during surgery. Researchers monitored 34 women having gynecological surgery to see if certain brain wave spikes occur. The goal was to better understand the effects of sevoflurane on the brain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sevoflurane
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help anesthesiologists understand how to use sevoflurane more safely to avoid unwanted brain activity during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It only looked at brain wave patterns, not patient outcomes.
