Impact of Estimated Concentration of Propofol on Implicit Memory Formation
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
Implicit memory formation and learning during general anaesthesia is a still debated question and no anesthetic regimen (ie intravenous anaesthesia vs inhalatory one) nor analgesic regimen (i.e. low or high opioids usage) has been identified for prevention.
With this study the investigators aim to investigate if, during Total Intravenous Anaesthesia with Target Controlled Infusion (TIVA-TCI) different concentrations of Propofol at loss of responsiveness, maintenance and return of responsiveness can have a role in implicit memory formation.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The role of Propofol Concentration at the loss of responsiveness on Implicit Memory formation — CeP will be recorded at Loss of responsiveness. Word Steam recognition, Free recall and Forced Choice Recognition Task will be performed within 12-24 hours after surgery. These 3 tests are analysed togheter to check for implicit memory formation.
CeP at LOR will be compared between patients who exhibit or not implicit memory formation. - The role of Propofol Concentration at the maintenance of anaesthesia on Implicit Memory formation — CeP will be recorded during anaesthesia maintenance. Word Steam recognition, Free recall and Forced Choice Recognition Task will be performed within 12-24 hours after surgery. These 3 tests are analysed togheter to check for implicit memory formation.
CeP at anaesthesia maintenance will be compared between patients who exhibit or not implicit memory formation. - The role of Propofol Concentration at the return of responsiveness on Implicit Memory formation — CeP will be recorded at Return of responsiveness. Word Steam recognition, Free recall and Forced Choice Recognition Task will be performed within 12-24 hours after surgery. These 3 tests are analysed togheter to check for implicit memory formation.
CeP at ROR will be compared between patients who exhibit or not implicit memory formation.
