Why the study?
Accidental awareness during general anaesthesia remains relatively frequent despite continuous electroencephalographic monitoring, and heart rate variability analysis may provide valuable information to predict arousal.
Does heart rate variability analysis predict pre-arousal during propofol-remifentanil general anaesthesia?

HRV sensitivity for arousal improves after excluding T0; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change anesthesia practice.
Does heart rate variability analysis predict pre-arousal during propofol-remifentanil general anaesthesia?
Heart rate variability analysis shows potential as a predictive tool for detecting patient arousal at the end of general anaesthesia.
