The purpose of this research is to gather information on the effectiveness of the Sedline Brain Function Monitor, and its use in this study to determine whether monitoring the brain activity during anesthesia will improve recovery, including earlier discharge and less side effects. Furthermore, the study team wants to determine whether males and females respond to anesthetics in a similar manner with and without brain monitoring.
Screening: One day prior to surgery or the day-of surgery in the preoperative holding area Once potentially appropriate subjects have been identified from the OR schedule for the next day, the study team will contact the anesthesia provider (resident, nurse aestheticist, attending) who is scheduled to treat that patient and explain to him/her about the research project and ask them to use a Sedline Brain Function Monitor for the case. In explaining the research project to anesthesia providers, the study team will stress the importance of keeping the patient's Sedline Density Spectral Array (DS…
