NCT04562181
The first objective of this work is to compare the performances of three electroencephalogram based indices, the qCON index, the qNOX index and the bispectral index (BIS), in patients receiving gastrointestinal surgery during first postoperative night. Secondly, their behaviors under general anesthesia are also pointed out. The qCON and qNOX indices are implemented in an Angel 6000 monitor (WellHealth Medical Co Ltd., Shenzhen, China), and BIS indices are recorded in a BIS monitor (Aspect Medical Systems, Norwood, MA, USA). Data will be obtained from 30 patients scheduled for selective surgery undergoing general anesthesia with a combination of propofol, sufentanil and cis-atracurium in the first Hospital of China Medical University. The values of qCON, qNOX and BIS were statistically compared. The qCON, qNOX indices are recorded together with BIS during the whole operation period (Awake- Anesthesia-Recovery stages), as well as during the first night postoperatively (from 8:00pm to 06:00am). The values of qCON, qNOX and BIS were statistically compared. The Consistency evaluation will be conducted between qCON/qNOX and BIS.

Resident wellness and physician burnout are under the spotlight more and more as data begins to show that there is a point of diminishing return on the number of hours in training. In 2003, resident work hours were restricted to less than 80 hours per week averaged over 4 weeks. This change was implemented in response to the robust body of evidence that increased work hours leads to decreased sleep, which in turn leads to medical errors and depression. These factors directly and indirectly lead to worse outcomes for patients. In residency, it is difficult objectively to assess when residents are beginning to experience burnout and depression. The investigators propose a study to determine whether tracking of certain heart rate parameters (resting heart rate and heart rate variability) as well as sleep can correlate to subjective assessment of resident wellness, burnout and depression. The investigators will also compare these measures to biomarkers of stress, such as salivary cortisol. The results of this study may lead to improved understanding of what truly causes burnout and may be an eventual target for intervention to help improve short- and long-term outcomes for resident physicians as well as their patients.
