Abstract
BACKGROUND TIVA is widely used in children, but few studies have attempted to evaluation of the effect of BIS-guided propofol infusion than that on conventional methods on recovery outcomes in children with higher risk factors.OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of bispectral index (BIS) guidance during total intravenous anesthesia on post-anesthetic recovery outcomes in children at higher risk during anesthesia. DESIGNA prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING University medical centre.PATIENTSThis study enrolled 472 children (aged 1-14 years) who met the higher-risk scoring criteria and were scheduled for surgery under total intravenous anesthesia. INTERVENTIONThe children were randomly assigned to the BIS group (group B) and standard clinical practice group (group S). The BIS values in group B were maintained at 45–60. The anesthesiologist controlled the depth of anesthesia in group S according to the variation in the clinical signs of the children. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESBIS values, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse oxygen saturation at each time points, as well as the time between drug withdrawal to extubation, duration of stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the total amount of propofol used, and postoperative adverse reactions were recorded. RESULTSThere was no significant difference in time from stopping propofol infusion to extubation and duration of PACU between the groups . There was no significant difference in BIS values between the groups at T2, T3, and T8. BIS values at T1, T4, T5, T6, and T7 in group B were lower than those in group S. There was no statistically significant difference in the HR between the groups. MAP in group B was lower than in group S at T5, T6, T7, and T8. The total amount of propofol administered in group B was higher than in group S. CONCLUSIONThe use of BIS-guided total intravenous anesthesia in higher-risk children can maintain the proper depth of anesthesia but does not prolong the time of extubation and the duration of stay in the PACU.TRIAL REGISTRATION Chictr.org.cn identifier: 24/11/2017 , ChiCTR-IOR-17013530
