Alerting thresholds for the prevention of intraoperative awareness with explicit recall: A secondary analysis of the Michigan Awareness Control Study

CONCLUSION: We could not derive a single population-based alerting threshold for the prevention of intraoperative awareness using either anaesthetic concentration or bispectral index values. These data indicate a need to move towards individualised alerting strategies in the prevention of intraoperative awareness. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Primary trial registration (Michigan Awareness Control Study) ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00689091.
