Can Bispectral Index Monitoring (EEG) be an Early Predictor of Respiratory Depression under Deep Sedation during Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography?

摘要

The more often the endoscopy sedation is performed, the more the risk of adverse events, and therefore, advanced monitoring becomes more and more essential in endoscopy units. The present study aims to evaluate whether the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring is an early predictor of respiratory depression and to determine the compliance between commonly used clinical sedation score.
