Predictive pharmacodynamic performance of the Eleveld pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic model for propofol: comparison of predicted and measured bispectral index

Br J AnaesthPublished Prospective observational study

Authors' conclusion

In spite of the acceptable MDPE and MDAPE, there are unacceptable degrees of both within-subject and between-subject variation during propofol target-controlled infusions.

Study context

Population
Adults undergoing lower limb surgery under total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with remifentanil TCI and propofol manually controlled, target-guided infusions based on the Eleveld model
Participants
40 adults
Exposure
Measured vs Eleveld model-predicted BIS during propofol TIVA
Outcome
Agreement between measured and predicted BIS values (median prediction errors, Bland-Altman analysis)
Methodological detailsmodel predictive performance evaluation, Bland-Altman analysis, Propofol infusions directed by PKPD Tools and StelSim simulation applications
  • Model predictive performance evaluation
