SASM Annual Meeting Abstract Winner - First Place
Title: Recurrent EEG signatures Associated with Pre-Emergent Induction of Anesthesia Dreams Across Three Anesthesia Propofol Protocols
Authors: J. Lee, T. Ishii, P. Sikka, M. Kawai, B. Heifets, H. Chow* Introduction:
Depth of anesthesia can be monitored with electroencephalography (EEG). While anesthesiologists often use distinct EEG patterns to monitor a patient’s depth of anesthesia, the question remains whether the phenomenon of vivid dreams during surgical anesthesia can too be characterized by distinct EEG patterns. The mechanism of anesthesia dreams is still poorly understood. Understanding these patterns can enhance our knowledge of conscious states and improve anesthetic management. We studied patients experiencing anesthetic dreaming under three different pre-emergence protocols associated with anesthesia dreams, seeking to identify common EEG signatures using a 4-lead frontal SedLine monitor.

The relationship between preoperative sleep disturbance and acute postoperative pain control: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Andrea Niklasson, Patrick H. Finan, Michael T. Smith, Alexandra Forsberg, Nicholas Dietz, Thomas Kander, Mads U. Werner, Michael R. Irwin, Eva Kosek, Martin F. Bjurström Abstract
Poor preoperative sleep quality and impaired sleep continuity may heighten acute postoperative pain intensity and increase analgesic consumption, with negative implications for recovery, mental and physical health. The main objective of the current review was to investigate the relationship between preoperative sleep disturbance and acute postoperative pain control. Four electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to December 2023. Two reviewers screened articles, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias for each included study. The search identified 26 prospective cohort studies and 3 retrospective cohort studies (16104 participants). Of the 29 included studies, 23 focused on preoperative insomnia symptoms, and three studies each focused on preoperative objective sleep continuity or sleep-disordered breathing. Meta-analysis, based on five studies with 1226 participants, showed that clinically significant preoperative insomnia symptoms were associated with moderate to severe pain intensity on the first postoperative day (odds ratio 2.69 (95 % confidence interval 2.03–3.57), p < 0.0001). Qualitative analysis showed relatively robust associations between preoperative insomnia symptoms, impaired sleep continuity and poorer acute, as well as subacute, postoperative pain control. Findings related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were mixed. Given that insomnia is a potentially modifiable risk factor, interventions targeting sleep prior to surgery may improve postoperative pain control.
