Bispectral Index and Emergence Agitation in Spinal Surgeries

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how certain brain wave patterns, measured during surgery, affect patients' recovery after anesthesia, particularly focusing on a condition called emergence agitation. This condition can cause confusion and restlessness as patients wake up from anesthesia, which can be distressing for both patients and their families. By examining the changes in brain activity during the surgery, the researchers hope to find ways to reduce this agitation and improve recovery.

To participate in this study, patients must be over 18 years old and scheduled for lumbar disc herniation surgery at Kocaeli City Hospital. They should be generally healthy, without serious neurological or vascular diseases. Participants will receive standard anesthesia care and pain relief during their surgery. It's important to note that those who choose not to participate or who experience certain complications during surgery will not be included in the study. This trial aims to make the recovery process smoother and more comfortable for patients undergoing spinal surgeries.
