The Effects of Bispectral Index and Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring on the Depth of Anaesthesia and Recovery in Cardiac Patients Under Desflurane Anaesthesia.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of bispectral index (BIS) and neuromuscular blockade monitoring on the depth of anaesthesia and recovery in cardiac patients, scheduled to undergo open cholecystectomy operation with desflurane anaesthesia.

Methods: After the approval of the Ethics Committee and consent from the patients, patients were randomly divided into two groups. All patients received standard induction drugs, and 4-6% desflurane was used for maintenance of anaesthesia.
