Authors' conclusion

The IoC1 is highly consistent with the BIS in the assessment of the sedative effects of ciprofol during general anesthesia induction.

Study context

Population
Patients aged 18 to 65 years undergoing noncardiac or noncranial elective surgery under GA with ciprofol induction
Participants
130 patients
Exposure
IoC1 vs BIS for monitoring ciprofol sedation during GA induction
Outcome
Consistency (Bland-Altman mean difference, 95% LOA) and accuracy (ROC for loss of responsiveness) of IoC1 vs BIS
Follow-up
T1 to T8 during GA induction
