Abstract
Importance Intraoperative electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform suppression, suggesting excessive general anesthesia, has been associated with postoperative delirium. Objective To assess whether EEG-guided anesthesia decreases the incidence of delirium after cardiac surgery. Design, Setting, and Participants Randomized, parallel-group clinical trial of 1140 adults 60 years or older undergoing cardiac surgery at 4 Canadian hospitals. Recruitment was from December 2016 to February 2022, with follow-up until February 2023. Interventions Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio (stratified by hospital) to receive EEG-guided anesthesia (n = 567) or usual care (n = 573). Patients and those assessing outcomes were blinded to group assignment. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was delirium during postoperative days 1 through 5. Intraoperative measures included anesthetic concentration and EEG suppression time. Secondary outcomes included intensive care and hospital length of stay. Serious adverse events included intraoperative awareness, medical complications, and 30-day mortality. Results Of 1140 randomized patients (median [IQR] age, 70 [65-75] years; 282 [24.7%] women), 1131 (99.2%) were assessed for the primary outcome. Delirium during postoperative days 1 to 5 occurred in 102 of 562 patients (18.15%) in the EEG-guided group and 103 of 569 patients (18.10%) in the usual care group (difference, 0.05% [95% CI, -4.57% to 4.67%]). In the EEG-guided group compared with the usual care group, the median volatile anesthetic minimum alveolar concentration was 0.14 (95% CI, 0.15 to 0.13) lower (0.66 vs 0.80) and there was a 7.7-minute (95% CI, 10.6 to 4.7) decrease in the median total time spent with EEG suppression (4.0 vs 11.7 min). There were no significant differences between groups in median length of intensive care unit (difference, 0 days [95% CI, -0.31 to 0.31]) or hospital stay (difference, 0 days [95% CI, -0.94 to 0.94]). No patients reported intraoperative awareness. Medical complications occurred in 64 of 567 patients (11.3%) in the EEG-guided group and 73 of 573 (12.7%) in the usual care group. Thirty-day mortality occurred in 8 of 567 patients (1.4%) in the EEG-guided group and 13 of 573 (2.3%) in the usual care group. Conclusions and Relevance Among older adults undergoing cardiac surgery, EEG-guided anesthetic administration to minimize EEG suppression, compared with usual care, did not decrease the incidence of postoperative delirium. This finding does not support EEG-guided anesthesia for this indication. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02692300.

Zhuge H, Zhou Y, Qiu Y, Huang X. Potential increased propofol sensitivity in cognitively impaired elderly: a controlled, double-blind study. Front Aging Neurosci 2024; 16:1410181. [PMID: 39044807 PMCID: PMC11263036 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2024.1410181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Cognitive impairment in the elderly may lead to potential increased sensitivity to anesthetic agents targeting receptors associated with cognition. This study aimed to explore the effect of cognitive status on propofol consumption during surgery in elderly patients. Methods Sixty elderly patients scheduled for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy were allocated to either a cognitively normal [CogN, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score ≥26] or cognitively impaired (CogI, MoCA <26) group. Propofol was administered via target-controlled infusion to maintain a bispectral index (BIS) between 55-65 during surgery. Propofol consumption was recorded at three time points: T1 (abolished eyelash reflex), T2 (BIS = 50), T3 (extubation). BIS values at eyelash reflex abolition were also recorded. Postoperative MoCA, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores, and remifentanil/sufentanil consumption were assessed. Results BIS values before induction were similar between CogN and CogI groups. However, at eyelash reflex abolition, BIS was significantly higher in CogI than CogN (mean ± SD: 65.3 ± 7.2 vs. 61.1 ± 6.8, p = 0.031). Propofol requirement to reach BIS 50 was lower in CogI vs. CogN (1.24 ± 0.19 mg/kg vs. 1.46 ± 0.12 mg/kg, p = 0.003). Postoperative MoCA, VAS scores, and remifentanil/sufentanil consumption did not differ significantly between groups. Conclusion Compared to cognitively intact elderly, those with cognitive impairment exhibited higher BIS at eyelash reflex abolition and required lower propofol doses to achieve the same BIS level, suggesting increased propofol sensitivity. Cognitive status may impact anesthetic medication requirements in the elderly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) on the anesthetic effect, plasma concentration, and postoperative recovery quality in elderly patients undergoing spinal surgery. METHODS A total of 60 cases of elderly patients aged 65 to 75 years who underwent elective multilevel spinal surgery were assigned randomly into the ANH group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). Hemodynamic and blood gas analysis indexes were observed and recorded before ANH (T1), after ANH (T2), immediately after postoperative autologous blood transfusion (T3), 10 min (T4), 20 min (T5), 30 min (T6), 40 min (T7), and 50 min (T8) after the transfusion, and at the end of the transfusion (i.e., 60 min; T9). At T3 ~ 9, bispectral index (BIS) and train-of-four (TOF) stimulation were recorded and the plasma propofol/cisatracurium concentration was determined. The extubation time and recovery quality were recorded. RESULTS The ANH group presented a lower MAP value and a higher SVV value at T2, and shorter extubation and orientation recovery time (P < 0.05) compared with the control group. BIS values at T8 and T9 were lower in the ANH group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). TOF values at T7 ~ 9 were lower in the ANH group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the postoperative plasma concentrations of propofol and cisatracurium between the groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION During orthopedic surgery, the plasma concentration of elderly patients is increased after autologous blood transfusion of ANH, and the depth of anesthesia and muscle relaxant effect are strengthened, thus leading to delayed recovery of respiratory function and extubation.

Incidence change of postoperative delirium after implementation of processed electroencephalography monitoring during surgery: a retrospective evaluation study. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:330. [PMID: 37794315 PMCID: PMC10548752 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02293-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in the elderly, which is associated with poor outcomes after surgery. Recognized as predisposing factors for POD, anesthetic exposure and burst suppression during general anesthesia can be minimized with intraoperative processed electroencephalography (pEEG) monitoring. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether implementation of intraoperative pEEG-guided anesthesia is associated with incidence change of POD. METHODS In this retrospective evaluation study, we analyzed intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVPCA) dataset from 2013 to 2017. There were 7425 patients using IVPCA after a noncardiac procedure under general anesthesia. Patients incapable of operating the device independently, such as cognitive dysfunction or prolonged sedation, were declined and not involved in the dataset. After excluding patients who opted out within three days (N = 110) and those with missing data (N = 24), 7318 eligible participants were enrolled. Intraoperative pEEG has been implemented since July 2015. Participants having surgery after this time point had intraoperative pEEG applied before induction until full recovery. All related staff had been trained in the application of pEEG-guided anesthesia and the assessment of POD. Patients were screened twice daily for POD within 3 days after surgery by staff in the pain management team. In the first part of this study, we compared the incidence of POD and its trend from 2013 January-2015 July with 2015 July-2017 December. In the second part, we estimated odds ratios of risk factors for POD using multivariable logistic regression in case-control setting. RESULTS The incidence of POD decreased from 1.18 to 0.41% after the administration of intraoperative pEEG. For the age group ≧ 75 years, POD incidence decreased from 5.1 to 1.56%. Further analysis showed that patients with pEEG-guided anesthesia were associated with a lower odd of POD (aOR 0.33; 95% CI 0.18-0.60) than those without after adjusting for other covariates. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of intraoperative pEEG was associated with a lower incidence of POD within 3 days after surgery, particularly in the elderly. Intraoperative pEEG might be reasonably considered as part of the strategy to prevent POD in the elder population. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2023; 102:e32955. [PMID: 36827058 PMCID: PMC11309675 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000032955] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Delirium is one of the most common geriatric syndromes in older patients, accounting for 25% of hospitalized older patients, 31 to 35% of patients in the intensive care unit, and 8% to 17% of older patients in the emergency department (ED). A number of articles have been published in the literature regarding delirium. However, it is unclear about article citations evolving in the field. This study proposed a temporal heatmap (THM) that can be applied to all bibliographical studies for a better understanding of cited articles worth reading. METHODS As of November 25, 2022, 11,668 abstracts published on delirium since 2013 were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection. Research achievements were measured using the CJAL score. Social network analysis was applied to examine clusters of keywords associated with core concepts of research. A THM was proposed to detect articles worth reading based on recent citations that are increasing. The 100 top-cited articles related to delirium were displayed on an impact beam plot (IBP). RESULTS The results indicate that the US (12474), Vanderbilt University (US) (634), Anesthesiology (2168), and Alessandro Morandi (Italy) (116) had the highest CJAL scores in countries, institutes, departments, and authors, respectively. Articles worthy of reading were highlighted on a THM and an IBP when an increasing trend of citations over the last 4 years was observed. CONCLUSION The THM and IBP were proposed to highlight articles worth reading, and we recommend that more future bibliographical studies utilize the 2 visualizations and not restrict them solely to delirium-related articles in the future.

Abstract
Hip fractures in nonagenarians is one of the great challenges for patients of this age, the family and the larger society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors and prognosis of postoperative delirium in nonagenarians with hip fracture. 199 Eligible patients were enrolled. Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) were used to identify the delirium. Logistic regressions were used to investigate the effect of 18 pre-existing conditions on postoperative delirium. Prognosis of postoperative delirium in nonagenarians with hip fracture were also be evaluated. The results indicated the following: (1) the prevalence of postoperative delirium among nonagenarians with hip fracture was 28.1% (56 of 199); (2) coexisting disease ≥ 4 (OR = 5.355, 95% CI = 1.394-9.074, P = 0.007), longer admission to operating time (OR = 1.514, 95% CI = 1.247-1.837, P = 0.000), and general anesthesia (OR = 2.086, 95% CI = 1.804-7.968, P = 0.032) were independent risk factors for postoperative delirium in nonagenarians with hip fracture; (3) nonagenarians with postoperative delirium had a predominantly high burden of perioperative complications, long length of stay, and postoperative mortality at 30 days follow-up and 1 year follow-up than the patients without postoperative delirium. The results could enable clinicians to improve outcome after operation in nonagenarians with hip fracture.

Relationship between ANI and qNOX and between MAC and qCON during outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy using remifentanil and desflurane without muscle relaxants: a prospective observational preliminary study. J Clin Monit Comput 2023; 37:83-91.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate qCON and qNOX variations during outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy using remifentanil and desflurane without muscle relaxants and compare these indices with ANI and MAC. Adult patients undergoing outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in this prospective observational study. Maintenance of anesthesia was performed using remifentanil targeted to ANI 50-80 and desflurane targeted to MAC 0.8-1.2 without muscle relaxants. The ANI, qCON and qNOX and desflurane MAC values were collected at different time-points and analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The relationship between ANI and qNOX and between qCON and MAC were analyzed by linear regression. The ANI was comprised between 50 and 80 during maintenance of anesthesia. Higher values of qNOX and qCON were observed at induction and extubation than during all other time-points where they were comprised between 40 and 60. A poor but significant negative linear relationship (r2 = 0.07, p < 0.001) was observed between ANI and qNOX. There also was a negative linear relationship between qCON and MAC (r2 = 0.48, p < 0.001) and between qNOX and remifentanil infusion rate (r2 = 0.13, p < 0.001). The linear mixed-effect regression correlation (r2) was 0.65 for ANI-qNOX and 0.96 for qCON-MAC. The qCON and qNOX monitoring seems informative during general anesthesia using desflurane and remifentanil without muscle relaxants in patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy. While qCON correlated with MAC, the correlation of overall qCON and ANI was poor but significant. Additionally, the qNOX weakly correlated with the remifentanil infusion rate. This observational study suggests that the proposed ranges of 40-60 for both indexes may correspond to adequate levels of hypnosis and analgesia during general anesthesia, although this should be confirmed by further research.

Abstract
Affected by the residues of narcotic drugs, patients under general anesthesia are vulnerable to emergence of agitation, delirium, hemodynamic changes, and other adverse events in the recovery period of anesthesia. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the observation and care of these patients. Depth of anesthesia monitoring (DAM) has always been a concern for anesthesiologists, but there are few reports related to it. This study compared the early warning value of DAM for patients under general anesthesia with delayed exit from the anesthesia recovery unit (PACU) and delirium and summarized the related nursing experience. The results showed that DAM could reduce the incidence of complications in patients under general anesthesia, reduce the incidence of delirium, shorten the time of postoperative anesthesia recovery and PACU observation time, reduce the workload of nursing staff, and improve nursing satisfaction. DAM plays an important role in improving the quality and efficiency of care in PACU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Five million surgeries take place in the NHS each year. Little is known about the prevalence of chronic diseases among these patients, and the association with postoperative outcomes. METHODS Analysis of routine data from all NHS hospitals in England including patients aged ≥18 yr undergoing non-obstetric surgery between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015. The primary outcome was death within 90 days after surgery. For each chronic disease, we adjusted for age, sex, presence of other diseases, emergency surgery, and year using logistic regression models. We defined high-risk diseases as those with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) for death ≥2 and report associated 2-yr survival. RESULTS We included 8 624 611 patients (median age, 53 [36-68] yr), of whom 6 913 451 (80.2%) underwent elective surgery and 1 711 160 (19.8%) emergency surgery. Overall, 2 311 600 (26.8%) patients had a chronic disease, of whom 109 686 (4.7%) died within 90 days compared with 24 136 (0.4%) of 6 313 011 without chronic disease. Respiratory disease (1 002 281 [11.6%]), diabetes mellitus (662 706 [7.7%]), and cancer (310 363; 3.6%) were the most common. Four chronic diseases accounted for 7.7% of patients but 59.0% of deaths: cancer (37 693 deaths [12.1%]; OR=8.3 [8.2-8.5]), liver disease (8638 deaths [10.3%]; OR=4.5 [4.4-4.7]), cardiac failure (26 604 deaths [12.6%]; OR=2.4 [2.4-2.5]), and dementia (19 912 deaths [17.9%]; OR=2.0 [1.9-2.0]). Two-year survival was 67.7% among patients with high-risk chronic disease, compared with 97.1% without. CONCLUSION One in four surgical patients has a chronic disease with an associated 10-fold increase in risk of postoperative death. Two-thirds of all deaths after surgery occur among patients with high-risk diseases (cancer, cardiac failure, liver disease, dementia).

Abstract
Burst-suppression is an electroencephalographic pattern that results from a diverse array of pathophysiological causes and/or metabolic neuronal suppression secondary to the administration of anesthetic medications. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the physiological mechanisms that underlie the burst-suppression pattern and to present in a comprehensive way the available evidence both supporting and in opposition to the clinical use of this electroencephalographic pattern as a therapeutic measure in various perioperative settings.

Abstract
Burst-suppression electroencephalography (EEG) patterns of electrical activity, characterized by intermittent high-power broad-spectrum oscillations alternating with isoelectricity, have long been observed in the human brain during general anesthesia, hypothermia, coma and early infantile encephalopathy. Recently, commonalities between conditions associated with burst-suppression patterns have led to new insights into the origin of burst-suppression EEG patterns, their effects on the brain, and their use as a therapeutic tool for protection against deleterious neural states. These insights have been further supported by advances in mechanistic modeling of burst suppression. In this Perspective, we review the origins of burst-suppression patterns and use recent insights to weigh evidence in the controversy regarding the extent to which burst-suppression patterns observed during profound anesthetic-induced brain inactivation are associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Whether the clinical intent is to avoid or maintain the brain in a state producing burst-suppression patterns, monitoring and controlling neural activity presents a technical challenge. We discuss recent advances that enable monitoring and control of burst suppression.

Abstract
Objective Postoperative delirium (POD) has rarely been investigated in breast cancer patients. Herein, we assessed the association between serum levels of the inflammatory biomarker translocator protein (TP) and the occurrence of POD in breast cancer patients. Methods In this prospective, observational study, TP levels were detected in preoperative and postoperative serum samples from 152 elderly breast cancer patients, samples from 152 healthy elderly women, and samples from 152 elderly women with benign breast diseases. The relationship between serum TP levels and POD was investigated using multivariate analysis. Results TP levels in postoperative patient serum samples were significantly higher than in preoperative patient serum samples and serum from women in the two control groups. Postoperative serum TP levels were independently correlated with serum C-reactive protein levels and the occurrence of POD. Postoperative serum TP levels had a high discriminatory ability for POD under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Conclusions Increased postoperative serum TP levels are independently associated with the degree of inflammatory response and the risk of POD in elderly breast cancer patients, substantializing TP as an inflammatory biomarker that can efficiently discriminate POD after breast cancer surgery.

Abstract
The Poincaré plot obtained from electroencephalography (EEG) has been used to evaluate the depth of anesthesia. A standalone EEG Analyzer application was developed; raw EEG signals obtained from a bispectral index (BIS) monitor were analyzed using an on-line monitoring system. Correlations between Poincaré plot parameters and other measurements associated with anesthesia depth were evaluated during emergence from inhalational general anesthesia. Of the participants, 20 were adults anesthetized with sevoflurane (adult_SEV), 20 were adults anesthetized with desflurane (adult_DES), and 20 were pediatric patients anesthetized with sevoflurane (ped_SEV). EEG signals were preprocessed through six bandpass digital filters (f0: 0.5–47 Hz, f1: 0.5–8 Hz, f2: 8–13 Hz, f3: 13–20 Hz, f4: 20–30 Hz, and f5: 30–47 Hz). The Poincaré plot-area ratio (PPAR = PPA_fx/PPA_f0, fx = f1∼f5) was analyzed at five frequency ranges. Regardless of the inhalational anesthetic used, there were strong linear correlations between the logarithm of PPAR at f5 and BIS (R2 = 0.67, 0.79, and 0.71, in the adult_SEV, adult_DES, and ped_SEV groups, respectively). As an additional observation, a part of EMG activity at the gamma range of 30–47 Hz probably influenced the calculations of BIS and PPAR_f5 with a non-negligible level. The logarithm of PPAR in the gamma band was most sensitive to state changes during the emergence process and could provide a new non-proprietary parameter that correlates with changes in BIS during measurement of anesthesia depth.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hip fractures are a worldwide health issue primarily for older patients, conditioning major morbidity and mortality. An experienced multidisciplinary team is essential to manage surgery and peri-operative implications, to enable rapid functional and cognitive recovery. Delirium is a recognizable problem associated with negative outcomes. Our study aims to determine the influence of pre-operative delirium in the incidence of post-operative delirium, and to evaluate the association between other known peri-operative risk factors with both conditions. METHODS A single-center, retrospective cohort study, conducted at a Level II trauma center over a 14-month period, included 241 patients with 65 years of age or older submitted to hip fracture surgery. Peri-operative data were gathered regarding baseline characteristics (sociodemographic, functional and cognitive status), intra-operative events (anesthesia technique, surgery duration, blood loss) and post-operative outcomes (delirium occurrence). RESULTS Statistical analysis evidenced a female (75.5%) and elderly population (83.9 ± 7.8 years old) with significant comorbidities (cognitive impairment in 51.9%, ASA ≥ III in 79.7%, mean CIRS-G 8.83 ± 4.69) that underwent surgical fracture repair, mostly under 4 h (96.3%) and under regional anesthesia (63.1%). Pre- and post-operative delirium incidence was 18.3% and 12.9%, respectively, displaying increased presence according to cognitive impairment severity. CONCLUSION Post-operative delirium was almost inexistent when it was absent pre-operatively. Moreover, pre-operative cognitive status was associated with the development of pre- and post-operative delirium. Careful cognitive assessment, implementation of preventive strategies and avoidance of peri-operative pro-delirium factors are crucial for comprehensive geriatric care.

Abstract
In order to understand general anaesthesia and certain seizures, a fundamental understanding of the neurobiology of unconsciousness is needed. This review article explores similarities in neuronal and network changes during general anaesthesia and seizure-induced unconsciousness. Both seizures and anaesthetics cause disruption in similar anatomical structures that presumably lead to impaired consciousness. Despite differences in behaviour and mechanisms, both of these conditions are associated with disruption of the functionality of subcortical structures that mediate neuronal activity in the frontoparietal cortex. These areas are all likely to be involved in maintaining normal consciousness. An assessment of the similarities in the brain network disruptions with certain seizures and general anaesthesia might provide fresh insights into the mechanisms of the alterations of consciousness seen in these particular unconscious states, allowing for innovative therapies for seizures and the development of anaesthetic approaches targeting specific networks.

Abstract
Better ways to manage preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative care of surgical patients is the bailiwick of anesthesiologists. Although we care for patients of all ages, protecting the cognitive capacity of elderly patients more frequently requires procedures and practices that go beyond routine care for nonelderly adults. This narrative review will consider current understanding of the reasons that elderly patients need enhanced care, and recommendations for that care based on established and recent empirical research. In that latter regard, unless and until we are able to classify anesthetic neurotoxicity as a rare complication, the first-do-no-harm approach should: (1) add anesthesia to surgical intervention on the physiological cost side of the cost/benefit ratio when making decisions about whether and when to proceed with surgery; (2) minimize anesthetic depth and periods of electroencephalographic suppression; (3) limit the duration of continuous anesthesia whenever possible; (4) consider the possibility that regional anesthesia with deep sedation may be as neurotoxic as general anesthesia; and (5) when feasible, use regional anesthesia with light or no sedation.

Abstract
Postoperative delirium is a geriatric syndrome that manifests as changes in cognition, attention, and levels of consciousness after surgery. It occurs in up to 50% of patients after major surgery and is associated with adverse outcomes, including increased hospital length of stay, higher cost of care, higher rates of institutionalization after discharge, and higher rates of readmission. Furthermore, it is associated with functional decline and cognitive impairments after surgery. As the age and medical complexity of our surgical population increases, practitioners need the skills to identify and prevent delirium in this high-risk population. Because delirium is a common and consequential postoperative complication, there has been an abundance of recent research focused on delirium, conducted by clinicians from a variety of specialties. There have also been several reviews and recommendation statements; however, these have not been based on robust evidence. The Sixth Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI-6) consensus conference brought together a team of multidisciplinary experts to formally survey and evaluate the literature on postoperative delirium prevention and provide evidence-based recommendations using an iterative Delphi process and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Criteria for evaluating biomedical literature.

Abstract
The concentration of propofol in blood is an important indicator for anesthesiologists to monitor and regulate the anesthesia depth of patients during surgery. Herein, a negative photoionization ion mobility spectrometry with acetone as the dopant was developed for rapid and direct determination of intraoperative blood propofol concentration in the operating theatre. High concentration of acetone molecules in the carrier gas was used not only to enhance neutral desorption and release free propofol molecules from the whole blood, but also to increase the intensity of reactant O2- and reduce the amount of non-reactive CO3- ions simultaneously, which allowed to measure trace propofol in less than 2 min without any tedious pretreatment. Under optimized conditions, a linear calibration curve of propofol was obtained with the range of 0.5-20 ng μL-1 and with a limit of detection of 0.14 ng μL-1, which met the clinical requirements and correlated well with standard HPLC methods. Finally, the method was applied to detect intraoperative blood propofol concentration in nearly 100 surgical patients, demonstrating its excellent detection capability and facilitating the study of propofol pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Individual response to sedatives and hypnotics is characterized by high variability and the identification of a personalized dose during anesthesia in the operating room and during sedation in the intensive care unit may have beneficial effects. Although the brain is the main target of general intravenous and inhaled anesthetic agents, electroencephalography (EEG) is not routinely utilized to explore cerebral response to sedation and anesthesia probably because EEG trace reading is complex and requires encephalographers' skills. Automated processing algorithms (processed EEG, pEEG) of raw EEG traces provide easy-to-use indices that can be utilized to optimize anesthetic management. A large number of high-quality studies and the recommendations of international scientific societies have confirmed the deleterious consequences of inadequate or excessively deep anesthesia (and sedation) level. In this context, anesthesia in the operating rooms and moderate/deep sedation in intensive care units driven by pEEG monitors could become a standard practice in the near future. The aim of the present review was to provide an overview of current knowledge and debate on available technologies for pEEG monitoring and their role in clinical practice for anesthesia and sedation.
