Preoperative characterization of baseline EEG recordings for risk stratification of post-anesthesia care unit delirium

J Clin AnesthPublished Post-hoc analysis of preoperative EEG recordings

Authors' conclusion

The baseline EEG of relaxed wakefulness as well as focused wakefulness may be used to assess the risk of developing PACU-D following surgery under general anesthesia.

Participants
