Evaluation of endovenous sedation using BIS monitoring in dentistry. A systematic review
2018
Background The aim of the present review was evaluate the utility and validity of the Bispectral Index (BIS) in dental treatment carried out under endovenous sedation, and compare its efficacy with clinical sedation scales. Material and Methods Electronic and manual literature searches were conducted by two independent reviewers for articles published up to April 2017 in several databases, including Medline and Cochrane Library. Results Sixteen articles met the inclusion criteria. A correlation was identified between BIS and clinical sedation scales.

Improved Sedation in Diagnostic and Therapeutic ERCP: Propofol is an Alternative to Midazolam
2000
Background and Study Aims: Adequate sedation of the patient is required for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The anesthetic propofol, with its shorter half-life, affording better control, offers an alternative to the benzodiazepine midazolam. The aim of this randomized, controlled, unblinded study was to compare prospectively the quality of sedation under propofol and midazolam in patients undergoing ERCP. Patients and Methods: A total of 80 patients were randomized to sedation with propofol alone (n=40) or midazolam alone (n = 40). Blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation were measured. Midazolam was given by the endoscopist and titrated…
