Age
20 Years to 80 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Male, undergo a Prostektomy with general Anaesthesia, between 20 and 80 jears of age

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria included age less than 18 and greater than 85 years, diabetes mellitus, ASA status > 2, use of medications affecting the autonomic nervous system, e.g., ß-blockers, antiarrhythmics, and atropine, implantation of a pacemaker, and cardiac arrhythmia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome of the study is to investigate the level of agreement between the HRV parameters (SDNN, RMSSD, HF, LF, LF/HF ratio), the Narcotrend Index of the EEG-based Narcotrend Monitor for the detection of the depth of anesthesia, and the MAC of the inhalation anesthetic sevoflurane across the entire course of surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcome of the study is, that HRV parameters correlate with the Narcotrend Index and reflect central sedation in addition to ANS activity during general anesthesia.
