The Effect of Bispectral Index Monitoring on the Speed of Recovery From Deep Propofol Sedation in Children With Cerebral Palsy - A Randomized Controlled Trial

After arrival in the preoperative holding area, children were randomly allocated into two groups using a computer-generated random assignment scheme. Five minutes before propofol sedation, remifentanil is administered intravenously at 0.025 μg / kg / min for analgesic effect and continued throughout the sedation process until just before the end of the procedure. Five minutes after remifentanil administration, 2 mg / kg of propofol mixed with 1 mg / kg of lidocaine was administered over 30 seconds, followed by continuous infusion at 100 μg / kg / min. Group C is monitored using UMSS(University of Michigan Sedation Scale) scores every three minutes, and group B is monitored using BIS score until deep sedation. Deep sedation is defined based on UMSS score of 3-4 and BIS score of 65 ± 5. If the sedation score is determined to have reached a deep sedation, a botulinum toxin injection is given by a practitioner blind to how to assess the depth of sedation. Independent investigator who is blind to group assignement assesses the oxygen saturation, respiration, and blood pressure, recovery time from sedation, and adverse events during and after sedation.
