Comparing of the accuracy of BISpro index and Narcotrend index for evaluating depth of sedation during propofol anesthe-sia
Objective To compare the accuracy,correlation and consistency of BISpro index(BISpro)and Narcotrend index(NT)in evaluating the depth of propofol sedation.Methods A total of 30 female patients who undergoing elective hysteroscopic sur-gery,with American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 18-55 years were enrolled in this study.Propofol sedation was induced by an initial target-controlled concentration of 1.0 mg/L,followed by a stepwise increase 0.5 mg/L every 2 min until the pa-tient was in unresponsive state.Their BISpro,NT,heart rate,target-controlled effect-site concentration(Ces)of propofol,and the Ob-server's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation(OAA/S)score were recorded every 30 s.BISpro and NT were compared between pa-tients with different OAA/S scores.The correlation coefficients of BISpro,NT,heart rate and Ces with OAA/S scores were calculated,and the correlation coefficient between BISpro and NT was calculated.Bland-Altman analysis was performed to evaluate the consisten-cy between BlSpro and NT.The differences in the prediction probability(PK)of BISpro,NT,heart rate and Ces for OAA/S score were compared.The optimal cut-off values of BISpro and NT for lost response were also calculated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared with those with OAA/S scores 3,4 and 5,decreased BISpro and NT were found in patients with OAA/S score≤2,with statistical differences(all P<0.05).BISpro(r=0.761),NT(r=0.831)and Ces(r=0.884)were well correlated with OAA/S scores(all P<0.001),and BISpro was positively related to NT(r=0.689,P<0.001).The consistency limit between BISpro and NO was from-21.4 to 23.7,and the maximum difference was 20.The PK of BISpro for OAA/S score was 0.884,which was slightly low-er than NT(0.927),but significantly higher than Ces(0.768).Both BISpro and NT accurately predicted wakefulness and deep sedation(BISpro 0.909,NT 0.965),as well as wakefulness and loss of response(BISpro 1.000,NT 1.000),without statistical differences(both P>0.05).However,the efficiency of both BISpro and NT in predicting wakefulness and light sedation was poor(BISpro 0.666,NT 0.796),which was remarkably lower than that of Ces(0.927).The optimal cut-off value of BISpro for lost response was 76,with a sensitivity of 100%,and a specificity of 84.9%,and the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.98(P<0.05).The optimal cut-off value of NT for lost re-sponse was 67,with a sensitivity of 97.1%,and a specificity of 93.7%,and the AUC was 0.97(P<0.05).Conclusions During propo-fol sedation,BISpro and NT have poor consistency and fail to accurately predict light sedation,but can accurately monitor the sedation degree of patients under general anesthesia.
