Bispectral Index is an objective tool to assess electroencephalographic activity and measure the effect of certain sedatives and hypnotics on the brain. In addition, there are certain subjective tools such as the observer's assessment of alertness and sedation which are used. The correlation between BIS and the concentration of propofol in the brain, and the relationship between these subjective and objective tools in assessing sedation levels are the subject of this study.
Thirty healthy volunteers enrolled in this prospective observational study. They were sedated with a target controlled infusion of propofol with an initial target of 0.8 microg.mL(-1)and an increase in target to 0.2 microg.mL(-1) ten minutes after equilibration of the predicted and set target concentrations. In each sedation score, the Bispectral Index value and predicted effect site concentration of propofol were recorded and analyzed. Analysis of variance and significant differences between groups were analyzed by paired t-test. Correlations between Bispectral Index and effect site concentration of propofol at each sedation score and the relationship of BIS and effect site concentration of propofol to each sedation score were assessed and analyzed by nonparametric Spearman's rho.
The means of Bispectral Index and effect site concentration of propofol at each sedation score showed a significant difference with the following score. Additionally, Bispectral Index and effect site concentration of propofol showed a significant negative correlation in sedation scores 3 and 2 when inducing sedation. In other sedation scores or when reversing the sedation, no strong correlation was noted.
Both Bispectral Index and effect site concentration of propofol indicate a good estimate of sedation levels; however their correlations are significant and negative only at moderate and deep sedation levels, and during the induction of sedation.
双频谱指数是一种评估脑电图活动并测量某些镇静剂和催眠药对大脑影响的客观工具。此外,还使用了一些主观工具,如观察者对警觉性和镇静程度的评估。本研究的主题是 BIS 与脑内丙泊酚浓度之间的相关性,以及这些评估镇静水平的主观和客观工具之间的关系。
30 名健康志愿者参与了这项前瞻性观察研究。他们接受丙泊酚靶控输注镇静,初始靶浓度为 0.8μg/ml,平衡预测浓度和设定浓度 10 分钟后靶浓度增加至 0.2μg/ml。在每个镇静评分中,记录并分析了双频谱指数值和预测的丙泊酚效应部位浓度。通过配对 t 检验分析方差和组间差异。通过非参数 Spearman's rho 评估和分析了每个镇静评分下 BIS 和丙泊酚效应部位浓度之间的相关性,以及 BIS 和丙泊酚效应部位浓度与每个镇静评分之间的关系。
每个镇静评分的双频谱指数和丙泊酚效应部位浓度的平均值与以下评分有显著差异。此外,在诱导镇静时,双频谱指数和丙泊酚效应部位浓度在镇静评分 3 和 2 时显示出显著的负相关。在其他镇静评分或逆转镇静时,没有发现强烈的相关性。
双频谱指数和丙泊酚效应部位浓度均能很好地估计镇静水平;然而,它们之间的相关性仅在中度和深度镇静水平以及诱导镇静时显著且为负相关。
