5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether EEG-guided calibration of inhalation agents can reduce occurrence of EEG discontinuity in infants during general anesthesia.
Detailed Description
This is a study for comparison of incidence of EEG discontinuity during general anesthesia using sevoflurane. EEG guidance group will receive calibration of fraction of inhalational sevoflurane according to components of slow wave and delta wave of raw EEG. Control group will receive conventional management of anesthesia according to vital signs.
