The NARCOguide index can be used to monitor the hypnotic component of anaesthesia in patients undergoing general anaesthesia or sedation with propofol, with a performance similar to that of the Narcotrend index.
Study context
- Population
- Adults receiving GA (oral surgery, propofol/remifentanil/rocuronium) or light GA/deep sedation with propofol alone (laryngoscopic upper airway exploration)
- Participants
- 40 adults
- Comparison
- NARCOguide index vs Narcotrend index
- Primary endpoint
- Agreement between NARCOguide and Narcotrend index (1-min averages at defined clinical markers; linear regression, Bland-Altman)
