Processed electroencephalogram indices for amelioration of postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction following non-cardiac and non-neurosurgical procedures

Abstract

© 2014 The Cochrane Collaboration. This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To assess whether the use of processed EEG indices (BIS, narcotrend index, CSI , SE and RE, PSI, SNAP II Index, IoC, AAI, and AEP-index) as guides to anaesthetic delivery can reduce the risk of POCD and POD in non-cardiac surgical or non-neurosurgical patients undergoing general anaesthesia compared with standard practice where only clinical signs are used.
