Electroencephalogram bispectral analysis predicts the depth of midazolam-induced sedation.

BackgroundThe electroencephalogram (EEG) has been used to study the effects of anesthetic and analgesic drugs on central nervous system function. A prospective study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of various EEG parameters for assessing midazolam-induced sedation during regional anesthesia.Me
