Capability of processed EEG parameters to monitor conscious sedation in endoscopy is similar to general anaesthesia.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Reliable and safe sedation is a prerequisite for endoscopic interventions. The current standard is rather safe, yet, an objective device to measure sedation depth is missing. To date, anaesthesia monitors based on processed electroencephalogram (EEG) have not been utilised in conscious sedation.

Objective

To investigate EEG parameters to differentiate consciousness in endoscopic propofol sedation.

Methods

In total, 171 patients aged 21-83 years (ASA I-III) undergoing gastrointestinal and bronchial endoscopy were enrolled. Standard monitoring and a frontotemporal two-channel EEG were recorded. The state of consciousness was identified by repeated requests to squeeze the investigator's hand.

Results

In total, 1132 state-of-consciousness (SOC) transitions were recorded in procedures ranging from 5 to 69 min. Thirty-four EEG parameters from the frequency domain, time-frequency domain and complexity measures were calculated. Area under the curve ranged from 0.51 to 0.82 with complexity and optimised frequency domain parameters yielding the best results.

Conclusion

Prediction of the SOC with processed EEG parameters is feasible, and the results for sedation in endoscopic procedures are similar to those reported from general anaesthesia. These results are insufficient for a clinical application, but prediction capability may be increased with optimisation and modelling.
