ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at two different methods of anesthesia for patients who are having elective craniotomy surgery, which is a procedure to access the brain. The researchers want to find out if using a special brain wave monitoring technique called EEG spectrogram guidance is more effective than using a standard method called processed EEG index guidance. Both approaches involve using a combination of medications to keep patients comfortable and safe during their surgery.
To be eligible for this trial, patients must be scheduled for an elective craniotomy, but those with certain health conditions, like heart failure or severe liver disease, won't be included. Participants in the study will receive one of the two methods of anesthesia, and the team will monitor their experience to see which method works better. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and anyone interested should discuss it with their healthcare provider.
