About this trial

This prospective observational study will evaluate neuro-mimic indicators of anesthesia depth, including eyelid reflex, eyeball movements, and pupil responses, in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. Sixty adult patients will be observed at three standardized time points: after induction, during skin incision, and mid-surgery. All parameters will be recorded alongside bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. The study aims to determine whether these observable signs correlate with anesthesia depth, contribute to early detection of intraoperative awareness, and provide a basis for developing non-invasive depth monitoring systems.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

The study will include patients aged 18-65 who will undergo elective abdominal surgery (e.g., cholecystectomy/gastrectomy/colorectal surgery/prostatectomy/hysterectomy, etc.) under general anesthesia, with a planned duration of 1-3 hours.

Patients whose eye area is left uncovered and who are in a position suitable for observation

Patients who have signed the informed consent form

Patients with an ASA score of I-III

Disqualifiers

Patients undergoing surgical procedures in the head, neck, or face region (e.g., ENT, eye, jaw surgery, neurosurgery, thyroid/parathyroid)

Patients whose eye area must be completely covered with a sterile drape

Patients with an ASA score of IV or higher

Individuals with neurological disorders and impaired pupil response, patients who have previously undergone eye trauma or surgery and cannot undergo pupil evaluation

Trial population

Adult patients aged 18-65 years, ASA physical status I-III, undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia at Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital will be included. Eligible patients must have the eye area uncovered and in a position suitable for observation, with surgery expected to last 1-3 hours. Both male and female patients will be enrolled. Head, neck, and eye surgeries or cases requiring full draping of the eye area will be excluded.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Neuro-Mimic Observation Protocol

    Other intervention

    Observation of eyelid reflex, eye movements, and pupil responses at three standardized intraoperative time points (after induction, during skin incision, and mid-surgery). Parameters will be recorded alongside BIS values without any intervention, device application, or additional risk to patients.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in pupil diameter during general anesthesia

Pupil diameter (mm) will be measured and compared at three intraoperative stages: after induction and intubation, during skin incision, and mid-surgery. The change over time will be analyzed as an indicator of anesthesia depth.

Time frame
Intraoperative period (observations at induction, incision, and mid-surgery).

Secondary outcomes

1

Presence or absence of eyelid reflex at different anesthesia stages

Eyelid reflex (palpebral reflex) will be assessed as present or absent at three intraoperative stages and analyzed in relation to anesthesia depth.

Time frame
Intraoperative period (induction, incision, mid-surgery).
2

Eye position and movements during anesthesia

Eyeball position (central, upward, downward, eccentric) and spontaneous movements will be observed and documented at three time points. Changes will be evaluated as neuro-mimic indicators of anesthesia depth.

Time frame
Intraoperative period (induction, incision, mid-surgery).
3

Correlation of neuro-mimic indicators with BIS values

Observed eyelid reflex, eye movements, and pupil responses will be correlated with simultaneously recorded BIS values to explore associations with anesthesia depth.

Time frame
Intraoperative period (induction, incision, mid-surgery).
4

Early indicators of intraoperative awareness

The relationship between observed neuro-mimic responses (eyelid reflex, eye movements, pupil diameter) and intraoperative awareness risk will be evaluated descriptively.

Time frame
Intraoperative period.
