Heart Rate Variability and Processed EEG Features as Predictors of Postoperative Outcomes After Cranial Neurosurgery
Sponsor: Fondazione I.R.C.C.S. Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta
Summary
Patients undergoing cranial neurosurgery face a high-risk postoperative period, particularly during emergence from anesthesia and early recovery in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Standard monitoring provides limited insight into brain and autonomic recovery processes. Heart rate variability (HRV) and processed electroencephalography (pEEG) may offer complementary markers of autonomic and cortical function, with potential to improve early detection of complications and guide individualized care.
