Standard Vs Supralabial Bispectral Index Scores

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
With the rise in number of surgeries, the medicolegal issues are on rise especially if patient had intraoperative awareness, which can also be detrimental to psychosocial behaviour of patient. Investigators plan to compare the BIS values, 'which is an indicator of awareness', from supralabial to standard forehead placement sites. If the results are corroborative then the supralabial site can be used for BIS monitoring in neurosurgical cases where it is not possible to to apply the forehead BIS strips.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Consequences of intraoperative awareness could be hemodynamic disturbances, long-lasting psychological problem and medicolegal issues. Bispectral index (BIS) is the most widely used noninvasive method to estimate level of consciousness. Complex electroencephalography (EEG) parameter that converts raw EEG data from the frontal cortex into a single number between 100 (fully awake) and 0 (isoelectric EEG). The BIS sensor is a single adhesive strip placed across the forehead. This position can be problematic in certain surgical procedures involving a neurosurgery, surgery involving fronto-temporal area of the face. Thus the need for alternative sites for BIS sensor placement is often felt. Several alternative sensor positions have been reported in literature like Occipital, Retroauricular, Mandibular. Each of these are found to have limitations. Investigators planned a study to compare the BIS values at two sites i.e. forehead(standard) versus supralabial placement of sensors so that BIS can be applied in neurosurgical cases if the two values relates statistically. Sample size: Total of 50 patients will be recruited for the study. Every patient will act as control and test group as both standard forehead sensors and (test) supralabial sensors will be applied in same patient. Method: 2 BIS sensors will be applied on each patient soon after the induction. Sensor 1: Frontal sensors will be applied with circle 1 at the center of the forehead; circle 2, 2.8 cm lateral to circle 1; and circle 3 on either temporal area between the corner of the eye and the hairline. Sensor 2: Supralabial sensors will be applied with circle 1 at the center of the upper lip at phrenulum, circle 4 adjacent to the lateral side of lip, and circle 3 at the ipsilateral temporal area. Anaesthetic technique: All patients will be given anti-aspiration prophylaxis with tab pantoperazole 20mg and tab. Granicetrone 2mg orally 2hrs before surgery with sips of water. After informed consent and recruitment as per inclusion-exclusion criteria, all patients will be premedicated with inj. midazolam mg. i.v. followed by intravenous induction with inj. propofol (1-2.5mg/Kg) along with Inj. Atracurium for muscle relaxation. Intubation will be done after adequate muscle relaxation achieved in both groups. Intraoperatively muscle relaxation will be monitored by nerve stimulator. Aim will be to maintain BIS value of 40-60. Closed circuit anaesthesia along with inhalational gas flow rate of 1 litre/min will be maintained. Patient will be ventilated with oxygen and sevoflurane mixture along with propofol infusion @ 25-100 mcg/kg/min Patient will be reversed after monitoring TOF ratio once the surgery is over. Monitoring: following 3 parameters BIS score Signal quality index (SQI) Electromyography (EMG) score Data will be recorded at Before first surgical incision After the first surgical incision Every 15 minutes thereafter during the intraoperative period (maintenance) Pre extubation Post extubation (emergence). Proposed Statistical Analysis: The statistical analysis will be carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc.,IBM, version 24.0 for Windows). Bland- Altman plot will be used to assess agreement between the values obtained from standard placement site and supralabial sensors
