Effect of Epidural Neuraxial Blockade-dependent Sedation on the Ramsay Sedation Scale and the Composite Auditory Evoked Potentials Index in Surgical Intensive Care Patients

Effect of Epidural Neuraxial Blockade-dependent Sedation on the Ramsay Sedation Scale and the Composite Auditory Evoked Potentials Index in Surgical Intensive Care Patients

Peripheral deafferentation induced by neuraxial anesthesia reduces the degree of cortical arousal. This study investigated whether epidural analgesia blockade decreased sedation, as measured by the rapidly extracted auditory evoked potentials index, A-line autoregressive index (AAI) and Ramsay Sedat...
