Evaluation of patient state index, bispectral index, and entropy during drug induced sleep endoscopy with dexmedetomidine

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Observational study comparing EEG monitors

Authors' conclusion

Commercial EEG monitors can capture changes in the brain state associated with the RASS score during dexmedetomidine sedation.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing drug induced sleep endoscopy with dexmedetomidine sedation
Participants
51 patients
Exposure
Patient state index (PSI) vs BIS vs Entropy vs SEF95
Outcome
Association of EEG markers with RASS score (ordinal logistic regression)
Methodological detailsplayback system extraction from continuous EEG
  • Playback system extraction from continuous EEG

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Association with RASS score
PSI, BIS and Entropy each significantly associated with Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score
p < 0.001 for all metrics

Observational data: associations, not effects.
