AI Article Synopsis
- The study assesses consciousness levels during sedation endoscopy using bispectral analysis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
- Midazolam sedation resulted in mostly lighter sleep stages (N1 and N2), with minimal deep sleep (N3) and no REM sleep detected, indicating ineffective sedation for deeper analysis.
- The research concludes that sleep endoscopy is a valuable tool for evaluating upper airway dynamics to improve surgical planning for these patients.
Article Abstract
Objective: This study examines subjects' level of consciousness with bispectral analysis in sedation endoscopy of the upper airway.
Study Design: A prospective study.
Setting: University hospital.
Subjects And Methods: Bispectral analysis levels recorded in natural sleep of 43 patients with obstructive sleep apnea during an overnight polysomnographic sleep study were directly compared with the levels recorded during midazolam sedation sleep endoscopy in the same subjects. The possible muscle relaxation effect of midazolam was examined via surface chin electrodes. Supine Müller maneuver findings in 50 patients with obstructive sleep apnea were also compared with soft tissue dynamics during midazolam sedation sleep endoscopy.
Results: In our study of the 43 patients with bispectral analysis during natural sleep and midazolam sedation sleep endoscopy, a predominance of bispectral analysis values indicating N1 and N2 sleep was observed during the sedation study. Midazolam failed to achieve deeper levels of sleep with minimal N3 and no convincing rapid eye movement. As N1 and N2 are the stages during which maximal dynamic activities occur, and they make up an average of 70.5% of total sleep time, from 210 sleep studies at our laboratory, the present technique would be ideal as a surgical assessment tool. No muscle relaxation effect could be detected at our protocol dose of midazolam. The supine Müller maneuver findings were significantly different from those observed during sedation sleep.
Conclusion: These findings support the value of sleep endoscopy as an efficient and informative technique for the examination of upper airway dynamics relevant to focused surgical planning.

Assessing the use of the Index of Consciousness (IoC) as a monitoring tool for the sedative effects of ciprofol during general anesthesia induction: a prospective observational study.
Perioper Med (Lond)

Department of Anesthesia, Characteristic Medical Center of Chinese People's Armed Police Force (PAP), Tianjin, China.
Background: We investigated the consistency and accuracy of the Index of Consciousness (IoC) and the Bispectral Index (BIS) in monitoring the sedative effect of ciprofol during the induction of general anesthesia. There is extensive literature that reports good consistency and correlations between the IoC1 and the BIS in reflecting the sedation levels induced by propofol and sevoflurane but not by ciprofol.
Objective: The aim was to compare the consistency and accuracy of the IoC and BIS in monitoring the sedative effect of ciprofol during the induction of general anesthesia.
A study of the relationship between Bispectral index and age-adjusted minimum alveolar concentration during the maintenance phase of general anesthesia in elective surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between Bispectral Index (BIS) and age-adjusted Minimum Alveolar Concentration (aaMAC) during anesthesia maintenance in adults.
- Factors such as age, ASA status, and specific anesthetic agents were found to influence BIS readings, indicating that older patients and those given certain drugs showed higher BIS at the same aaMAC.
- A generalized estimation equation was developed to predict either BIS or aaMAC based on known values, despite significant variances in their relationship.
BIS Guided Titration of Sevoflurane in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: In pediatric patients, the use of processed EEG monitoring may reduce the amount of anesthesia administered while maintaining adequate depth of anesthesia.
Aims: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether use of a BIS monitor to guide sevoflurane administration might reduce the average end tidal sevoflurane concentration used in children 4-18 years of age.
Methods: Participants in three age groups (4-8, 9-12, and 13-18 years) were randomized to either the BIS guided group or the control group.

Background: The ability of current depth-of-anaesthesia monitors to differentiate subtle changes in the conscious state has not been well characterised. We examine the variability in bispectral index (BIS) scores associated with disconnected conscious and unconscious states as confirmed by a novel serial awakening paradigm.
Methods: Seventy adult participants, given propofol or dexmedetomidine, had a cumulative 1381 electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings across two centres.

Objective: Evaluate the performance of the encephalon state index (ESI) in depth of anesthesia monitoring during clinical surgery, compared with the bispectral index (BIS).
Methods: ESI and BIS data were collected from 60 patients in a single-center clinical trial to compare their efficacy in measuring the depth of anesthesia.
Results: Consistency analysis revealed mean differences and standard deviations of －0.
