About this trial

The goal of this pharmacodynamic study is to develop a model for Propofol administration for older adults (\>65 years). The main objective is to create a model based on a new pharmacodynamic parameter, derived from frontal electroencephalogram (EEG), to admininster Propofol in older adults. With this new model, the investigators aim to:

* Evaluate the relationship between the plasmatic concentration, described by the Eleveld pharmacokinetic model, versus the effect of the drug represented with a new parameter derived from the intraoperative frontal EEG. * To validate the predictive ability of Eleveld's pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model, based on the bispectral index (BIS), compared to the new model based on a parameter derived from intraoperative frontal EEG.

Participants will be asked to answer preoperative questionnaires, receive a Propofol intravenous infusion concomitantly with continuous BIS and EEG monitoring, and to be evaluated for clinical sings of loss and return of consciousness.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients undergoing non-cardiac elective surgery requiring general anesthesia

American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status I to III

Disqualifiers

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Propofol

    Drug

    Patients older than 65 years of age will receive an intravenous infusion of Propofol with prespecified plasma targets. During its administration, registration of BIS values, frontal electroencephalography, and clinical signs of consciousness will be performed.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Performance Error (PE)

Difference between the measured (according to Eleveld) and predicted concentrations, divided by the predicted concentration. Multiplied by 100. Unit of measure: percentage (%).

Time frame
Intravenous infusion start to one minute after start of burst suppression in EEG

Secondary outcomes

1

Median Absolute Performance Error (MDAPE)

Median Absolute Performance Error (MDAPE) is the median PE and is a measure of how close the predicted concentration is to the measured concentration (Accuracy). Unit of measure: percentage (%).

Time frame
Intravenous infusion start to one minute after start of burst suppression in EEG
2

Median Prediction Error (MDPE)

Median Prediction Error (MDPE) is a measure of the overall bias of the predictions; it indicates whether the model systematically overshoots or undershoots the target. Unit of measure: percentage (%).

Time frame
Intravenous infusion start to one minute after start of burst suppression in EEG
3

Time of Loss of response (LOR)

Loss of response (LOR) is defined as the time when patients stop responding to verbal commands, light tactile stimulation, and the eyelid reflex. Unit of measure: time (seconds).

Time frame
Intravenous infusion start to one minute after start of burst suppression in EEG
4

Time of Burst-suppression (BS)

Burst-suppression (BS) consists of alternating episodes of isoelectric flat EEG periods with bursts of slow waves, including systemic and quasiperiodic variation where high voltage and isoelectric periods have variations between and within bursts. Unit of measure: time (seconds).

Time frame
Intravenous infusion start to one minute after start of burst suppression in EEG
