Using Electroencephalography (EEG) to Guide Propofol and Sevoflurane Dosing in Pediatric Anesthesia - 10/08/20
, Ting Xu, MD b, c, Charles Dean Kurth, MD a, dRésumé |
Sevoflurane and propofol–based anesthetics are dosed according to vital signs, movement, and expired sevoflurane concentrations, which do not assess the anesthetic state of the brain and, therefore, risk underdose and overdose. Electroencephalography (EEG) measures cortical brain activity and can assess hypnotic depth, a key component of the anesthetic state. Application of sevoflurane and propofol pharmacology along with EEG parameters can more precisely guide dosing to achieve the desired anesthetic state for an individual pediatric patient. This article reviews the principles underlying EEG use for sevoflurane and propofol dosing in pediatric anesthesia and offers case examples to illustrate their use in individual patients.
