Study Overview

Brief Summary

To compare the performance of the Eleveld models for propofol and remifentanil on neurosurgery patients admitted to intensive care with their intraoperative performance.

Detailed Description

Despite the widespread adoption of Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) models in modern clinical anesthesia practice, much less attention has been paid in the literature to their potential applications in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) setting. Few studies have been published so far to evaluate the performance of TCI pumps for sedatives and other drugs (e.g., antibiotics) in Intensive Care. Further data is needed regarding the use of TCI for the long-term infusion of these drugs in the ICU after surgery, and the quantitative relationship between generalized pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic models for propofol and remifentanil (the Eleveld models) has yet to be evaluated in this specific population. This study is an observational study with the aim of clarifying the predictive performance of the TCI models for the administration of propofol and remifentanil in a cohort of intensive care patients admitted after neurosurgery and compare it to the intraoperative performance, which can be taken as benchmark.
