Correlation Between Sedation Depth Monitoring and Reflexes During Intravenous Anesthesia With Dexmedetomidine and Remifentanil in Children Undergoing Direct Laryngoscopy for Surgical Procedures
Sponsor: University Hospital, Antwerp
Summary

NeuroSENSE ®in children
Before induction of anesthesia NeuroSENSE ® monitoring will be applied to all subjects.General anesthesia with dexmedetomidine and remifentanil is titrated based on the evaluation of respiratory clinical signs (cough, spasm, movement) and immobility of the vocal cords. The anesthesiologist performing anesthesia will be blinded for the Wavelet-based Anesthetic Value for Central Venous System (WAVCNS) index assessed by NeuroSENSE ® and will adjust dexmedetomidine according to clinical signs, which is standard of care. Retrospectively data obtained by NeuroSENSE ® will be compared to evaluate whether they are useful in predicting upcoming unwanted airway reflexes.
