Objective We compared two PK/PD models, one with and one without a plateau effect.
Bispectral (BIS, Aspect Medical Systems, Natick, MA, version XP) and Narcotrend™(NCT …

Background We compared dose–response curves of the hypnotic effects of desflurane,
sevoflurane and isoflurane. In addition, we analyzed the k e0 values of the different …

IMPLICATIONS: Monitoring the electroencephalogram with Narcotrend or Bispectral Index
during desflurane-remifentanil anesthesia only slightly reduces recovery times when …

BACKGROUND: We compared two pharmacodynamic models, one with and one without a
plateau effect. Bispectral indices (BIS, Aspect Medical Systems, Natick, MA, version XP) and …

Background The authors hypothesized that the electroencephalogram (EEG) during higher
anesthetic concentrations would show more" order" and less" randomness" than at lower …

Summary Background: The Narcotrend® Index (NI) for assessment of depth of anesthesia
by analysis of the electroencephalogram (EEG), is potentially a pharmacodynamic measure …

Background The Narcotrend monitor (MonitorTechnik, Bad Bramstedt, Germany) has
recently been introduced as an intraoperative monitor of anesthetic state, based on a …

Background Anesthesiologists routinely increase the delivered anesthetic concentration
before surgical stimulation in anticipation of increased anesthetic requirement to achieve …

Background: Autoregressive modelling with exogenous input of the middle‐latency auditory
evoked potential has been developed for monitoring of anaesthetic depth. This study was …

Background The effects of anesthetic drugs on electroencephalograms (EEG) have been
studied to develop the EEG as a measure of anesthetic depth. Bispectral analysis is a new …
