Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patient State Index (PSI) Comparison, Baseline and Emax

    Patient State Index (PSI-1) is a processed EEG parameter that quantifies the level of EEG inhibition. A new algorithm (PSI-2) has been created to improve performance in low power EEG. PSI is unitless. It ranges between 100 and 0 (100 representing 'awake state', 0 denoting 'no detectable electrical brain activity'). PSI-1 and PSI-2 were compared in their correlation with measured propofol and sevoflurane concentrations with or without remifentanil (0, 2 ,or 4 ng/mL) via several estimated PD model parameters. In the data table, BL (Baseline) denotes PSI-2 measurements when no drug is present; Emax denotes PSI in the presence of the maximum drug effect; C50 is the drug concentration which produces 50% of the maximal drug effect (ug/mL for Propofol C50, vol% for Sevoflurane C50).

Study Arms (1)

Healthy Volunteers

EXPERIMENTAL

All healthy volunteers will receive four sessions of anesthesia with different common drug combinations while having SedLine EEG sensors placed on their forehead during these sessions to study the effects of these drugs on the brain. The sessions were: propofol (P), sevoflurane (S), propofol with remifentanil (PR), and sevoflurane with remifentanil (SR).

Device: SedLine EEG sensor

Interventions

Test subjects in each group will receive the same device intervention (SedLine EEG) to monitor their EEG waves.

Healthy Volunteers

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 70 years
  • Concerning the cognitive function: Volunteers are considered to have sufficient cognitive reserve if they are able to read and comprehend the patient information form, if they can adequately answer the anamnestic questions during the screening process and if they are allowed to provide legitimate written informed consent
  • No selection will be made regarding ethnic background.
  • For this study no control group has been selected as EEG is compared between episodes rather than between individuals (each volunteer is his/her own control)

You may not qualify if:

  • Volunteer refusal
  • Volunteer \< 18 years and \>70 years
  • Pregnancy
  • Neurological disorder (epilepsy, the presence of a brain tumor, a history of brain surgery, hydrocephalic disorders, depression needing treatment with anti-depressive drugs, a history of brain trauma, a subarachnoidal bleeding, TIA or cerebral infarct, psychosis or dementia , schizophrenia, alcohol or drug abuse).
  • Diseases involving the cardiovascular system (hypertension, coronary artery disease, prior acute myocardial infarction, any valvular and/or myocardial disease involving decrease in ejection fraction, arrhythmias, which are either symptomatic or require continuous medication/pacemaker/automatic internal cardioverter defibrillator
  • Pulmonary Diseases
  • Gastric Diseases
  • Endocrinologic diseases
  • Recent use of psycho-active medication (benzodiazepines, anti-epileptic drugs, parkinson medication, anti-depressant drugs, opioids) or more than 20g of alcohol daily
