Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Advantages of EEG guidance: potential reduction in anesthetic dosage, prevention of EEG suppression, and reduction in peri-operative adverse events
- Processed EEG (pEEG) indices may not always reliably indicate the hypnotic state in children, especially neonates and infants
- Nonproprietary EEG parameters (raw EEG, SEF95, density spectral array) can prevent overreliance on pEEG indices
