Objective: To study the effect of propofol at different effect-site concentrations on approximate entropy (ApEn) of transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) signals in adults and investigate the possibility of using ApEn for monitoring anesthesia depth.
Methods: Fifteen ASA class I or II patients (aged 18-49 years with normal hearing) undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study. Anesthesia was maintained with target-controlled infusion of propofol. With the effect-site concentrations of 1, 2, 3 and 4 microg/ml, TEOAE signals were monitored and recorded before and after anesthesia. ApEn of TEOAE in 4 frequency ranges (0-2, 1-3, 2.5-4.5, and 4-6 kHz) were calculated using MATLAB software.
Results: The ApEn of TEOAE in different frequency ranges showed no significant differences at the same effect-site concentration of propofol, or at different effect-site concentrations in the same frequency range (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Anesthesia with propofol at different effect-site concentrations does not obviously affect ApEn of TEOAE signals in adults, and ApEn can not be used as the indicator for evaluating the depth of anesthesia.

: Despite the known impact of propofol and remifentanil on hemodynamics and patient outcomes, there is a lack of comprehensive quantitative analysis, particularly in surgical settings, considering the influence of noxious stimuli. The aim of this study was to develop a quantitative semi-mechanistic population model that characterized the time course changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) due to the effects of propofol, remifentanil, and different types of noxious stimulation related to the clinical routine. : Data from a prospective study were used; the study analyzed the effects of propofol and remifentanil general anesthesia on female patients in physical status of I-II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA I-II) undergoing gynecology surgery.

Background: Total intravenous anaesthesia guided by electroencephalography and neurophysiological monitoring may be used for carotid endarterectomy. Reduction of brain metabolic demand during cross-clamping of the internal carotid artery with propofol titrated to burst suppression requires effect-site concentrations that may delay emergence and interfere with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine decreases the effect-site concentration of propofol required for burst-suppression in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

Background: Outpatient hysteroscopic surgery requires patients to be anaesthetised and recover quickly, and the drugs used must be safe and effective. Remifentanil is typically co-administered with propofol as total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for hysteroscopy because of its favourable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. However, the optimal dose of remifentanil when co-administered with propofol without neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) has not been established.

Background: Ketamine administration during stable propofol anesthesia is known to be associated with an increase in bispectral index (BIS) but a "deepening" in the level of hypnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the effect-site concentration of ketamine (CeK) and 2 electroencephalogram (EEG)-derived parameters, the BIS and spectral edge frequency (SEF95), after the administration of a ketamine bolus. Secondary aims included investigating the BIS and SEF95 variations with time and changes in the surgical pleth index (SPI).

Elderly patients are prone to develop postoperative neurocognitive deficits potentially precipitated by inadequate anesthetic management. To investigate the potential of EEG-guided individualized anesthetic titration we evaluated the effect of the patient's age on the spectral composition of the EEG during slow propofol induction. Twenty-six young (<65 years) and 25 old (≥65 years) patients received propofol until loss of responsiveness (LOR).
