- The study investigates the oculocardiac reflex (OCR), a condition causing bradycardia during strabismus surgery, and how various anesthetic techniques impact it, particularly focusing on monitoring methods like BIS and Narcotrend.
- The research analyzed data from over 2,800 surgical cases, revealing no significant correlation between the percentage of OCR and brain wave patterns, despite varying anesthetic depth between different muscles tested.
- The study concluded that while certain anesthetic agents and patient age influenced OCR, a direct link between brain wave measurements and the reflex could not be established.
