The effect of propofol on somatosensory evoked potentials was assessed during different intra-operative stimuli in prolonged (greater than 2 h) abdominal operations. SSEP were used to evaluate the extent of block of sensory nerve conduction at the following stages: preinduction; during steady state anaesthesia; during traction of the mesentery; 10 min after anaesthesia. Propofol 100 micrograms ...

Changes in cerebrospinal fluid pressure after induction of anaesthesia with Althesin were recorded in 21 volunteer patients who had no abnormality of the central nervous or cardiorespiratory systems. In patients who breathed spontaneously, cerebrospinal fluid pressure fell by 45% at 1 min after intravenous injection of Althesin 0.1 ml/kg. It returned almost to preinduction levels by 12 min Duri...

We studied four electrophysiological variables (bispectral index (BIS), 95% spectral edge frequency (SEF), median frequency (MF) and auditory evoked potential index (AEP index) in 10 patients during emergence from anaesthesia. We compared correlation of the signals with gradually decreasing calculated blood propofol concentrations, and evaluated the signal differences between preinduction and e...
