Why the study?
Does heart rate variability analysis quantify the sympatho-vagal balance and stress response during asleep-awake craniotomy?
Does heart rate variability analysis quantify the sympatho-vagal balance and stress response during asleep-awake craniotomy?
HRV analysis confirms a moderate intraoperative stress response during the awake phases of craniotomy, which may help tailor anesthesia protocols.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
HRV may signal stress during awake craniotomy phases; leaves open its utility for tailoring anesthesia pending prospective validation.
