Implementation of a Bayesian based advisory tool for target-controlled infusion of propofol using qCON as control variable

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The application of the Bayesian-based CePROP advisory system in this trial did not result in a different time of qCON between 35 and 55 (84 [21] vs. 90 [18] percent of the case time).

Study context

Population
Patients scheduled for elective surgery under propofol TCI with qCON (CONOX) EEG monitoring
Participants
100 patients
Comparison
Intervention vs Control
Primary endpoint
Time of qCON within the desired range (35-55) during anaesthesia maintenance
Methodological detailssingle blinded, 1:1 randomisation
  • Single blinded
  • 1:1 randomisation

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Time of qCON within desired range (35-55) during anaesthesia maintenance

P = 0.15

Secondary outcomes

Induction parameters and recovery times

Similar results in both groups

Coefficient of variation of CePROP

Higher in the intervention group
