Randomized Controlled TrialLevel of sedation evaluation with Cerebral State Index and A-Line Arx in children undergoing diagnostic procedures.
Monitoring of anesthesia depth is difficult clinically, particularly in children. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation existing between CSI (Cerebral State Index), or AAI (A-line ARX) and a clinical sedation scale such as UMSS (University of Michigan Sedation Scale), during deep sedation with propofol in children undergoing diagnostic procedures. ⋯ Our study suggests that CSI and AAI may be two, real-time and objective tools to assess induction and emergence during propofol sedation in children undergoing EGDS and MRI.
