Dreaming During Anaesthesia and Anaesthetic Depth

This study has been completed.

Sponsors and Collaborators:	Melbourne Health Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists
Information provided by:	Melbourne Health
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00226876

Purpose

Patients commonly report that they have been dreaming when they awaken from general anaesthesia. Our hypothesis is that patients who report dreaming are less deeply anaesthetised during anaesthesia than patients who do not report dreaming. Depth of anaesthesia will be determined using a processed electroencephalographic monitor (called the BIS monitor).

Condition
