Observational StudyMonitoring depth of sedation: evaluating the agreement between the Bispectral Index, qCON and the Entropy Module's State Entropy during flexible bronchoscopy.
We investigated the correlation and agreement of three depth of anesthesia indices, Bispectral Index (BIS), qCON and state entropy (SE) during propofol sedation, because there is extensive literature that deals with the comparability of these indices during general anesthesia, but not during sedation. ⋯ The results indicate a high probability of similar index performance between SE, BIS and qCON with the caveat of a different index scaling for qCON. These results can help the user of these monitoring devices to translate findings from one index to the other.
