Comparison of entropy and bispectral index during propofol and fentanyl sedation in monitored anaesthesia care.
Comparison of entropy (state entropy [SE] and response entropy [RE]) with the bispectral index (BIS) during propofol sedation in monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) was carried out in patients undergoing hand surgery. Thirty candidates for elective hand surgery were pre-medicated with midazolam 0.06 mg/kg and atropine 0.01 mg/kg. Sedation was induced with intravenous propofol and fentanyl was also administered. The Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (MOAA/S) was used to determine sedation level and pain was maintained at < 4 on a 0 - 10 verbal rating scale. The BIS, entropy, MOAA/S and pain values were recorded before initiation of sedation (control), during initiation of sedation, during surgery, and for 30 min after the end of surgery and anaesthesia. On initiation of sedation, entropy decreased more rapidly than BIS. At 10 min after initiation of sedation, the mean +/- SD values for MOAA/S, BIS, RE and SE were 3.00 +/- 0.36, 85.45 +/- 0.15, 74.00 +/- 0.60 and 72.02 +/- 0.12, respectively. During recovery, BIS and RE and SE increased in parallel with MOAA/S. It is concluded that entropy monitoring is as reliable as BIS monitoring in MAC.
