The administration of propofol for sedation or general anesthesia presents challenges due to the complex relationship between patient factors and real-time physiological responses. This study explores the application of deep reinforcement learning (D...
Monitoring nociception under general anesthesia remains challenging due to the complexity of pain pathways and the limitations of single-parameter methods. In this study, we introduce a multimodal approach that integrates electroencephalogram (EEG), ...
BACKGROUND: Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) commonly occurs in patients who have indwelling urinary catheters while under general anesthesia. And moderate-to-severe CRBD can lead to significant adverse events and negatively impact patient ...
General anesthesia, pivotal for surgical procedures, requires precise depth monitoring to mitigate risks ranging from intraoperative awareness to postoperative cognitive impairments. Traditional assessment methods, relying on physiological indicators...
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common adverse effect of anesthesia. Identifying risk factors for PONV is crucial because it is associated with a longer stay in the post-anesthesia care unit, readmissions, and perioperative costs. This ...
