Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) announced findings from a randomized trial published in the Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, showing that EEG-guided anesthesia using Masimo's SedLine technology reduces sevoflurane dosage in young children undergoing minor surgery. The trial involved 195 children, revealing a significant decrease in average sevoflurane concentrations during induction (4.80% vs. 5.67%) and maintenance (2.23% vs. 2.38%) phases. Additionally, burst suppression incidents were lower in the EEG group (3.1% vs. 10.9%). These results suggest potential for enhanced anesthesia management in pediatric populations.

Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) released findings from a retrospective study in Telemedicine and e-Health analyzing the efficacy of its SafetyNet remote patient monitoring system for COVID-19 patients.
