Impact of Training on the Use of Software and Digital Monitoring Tools During General Anesthesia for Intermediate/Major-risk Surgery on Morbidity and Mortality at 28 Days

Tools such as surgical plethysmographic index, state entropy, train-of-four monitors exist to optimize the conduct of general anesthesia in intermediate and major risk surgery as defined by the 2022 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Although these monitors are available on anesthesia machines they are still under-used by teams due to lack of training, practice and a real understanding of their usefulness (operation, expected benefits). When used in conjunction with General Electric's AoA Carestation Insight software, these tools could have a real impact on morbidity and mortality at 28 days post-op. The aim of this prospective monocentric interventional "before/after" study is to assess the impact of training and encouraging teams to use these tools.
