How does the use of deep anesthesia, as measured by neuromonitoring techniques such as processed EEG, affect the incidence of postoperative complications in adult patients?
Abstract
The evidence from recent studies suggests that processed EEG-guided anesthesia potentially reduces the incidence of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, particularly in elderly or high-risk patients, though results regarding other complications and long-term outcomes are less conclusive.
