Validation of the Bispectral Index Monitor During Living Donor Liver Transplantation

NCT01494220 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 42

Last updated 2012-04-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may be influenced with several factors rather than the depth of anesthesia such as bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, and mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2). The investigators tested the validity and the independent factors which may alter of BIS readings during LDLT.

Up to the investigators best knowledge, the independent predictors for BIS monitoring were not identified yet during the three phases of liver transplantation.

Interventions

DEVICE

Bispectral index monitoring (BIS)

BIS recording electrodes (Aspect Medical Systems. Inc., One Upland Road, Norwood, MA 02062 USA) were applied to the forehead of each patient according to the manufacturer recommendations. The BIS monitor was masked with opaque sheet and BIS data was recorded prior to induction of general anesthesia then continued throughout the procedure. All information obtained from the BIS monitor was continuously downloaded to a computer for offline analysis. The patient's management was not guided by the changes in BIS readings.
