Actual (reported)The study hypothesizes that adding 60% nitrous oxide to a steady state sevoflurance or propofol anesthetic will lead to a decrease in both BIS and Entropy indices during a constant level of surgical stimulus

Actual (reported)The Effect of Nitrous Oxide on Bispectral Index (BIS) and State Entropy Index (SE)
We planned this study to compare the effect of adding N2O on BIS and SE during an intravenous or an inhalation anesthetic. We hypothesized that neither BIS nor SE would decrease in response to the addition of N2O to a Propofol anesthetic. We also hypothesized that neither BIS nor SE would decrease in participants under Sevoflurane anesthesia if the inspired concentration of Sevoflurane were carefully and continuously adjusted to maintain a constant end-tidal concentration during the addition and discontinuation of N2O. BIS (0-100) and SE (0-92) are unitless, ordinal indices of anesthetic depth. Both indices are decreased when the depth of anesthesia is increased.

1. We did not measure the blood concentrations of Sevoflurane. 2. Variety of surgical procedures might have lead to different levels of noxious stimuli. 3. Noxious stimuli and administration of opioids may affect EEG-derived indices.
