Popis: Background: The A-Line Autoregressive Index (AAI), which is derived from auditory evoked potentials, has been used for determining anesthetic depth. This study verified the correlation between AAI values and the corresponding end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane during general anesthesia induction. Methods: Thirty young male adults undergoing elective minor orthopedic surgery were sequentially allocated to receive inspiratory 3%, 5%, or 6% sevoflurane for mask induction, followed by mechanical ventilation after tracheal intubation. The inspiratory, end-tidal and estimated jugular bulb concentrations of sevoflurane were recorded at three target AAI values: below 20, below 10, and at the start of burst suppression. Results: The mean time to loss of consciousness in the 6% sevoflurane group was shorter than that in the 5% and 3% groups
however, the groups had comparable AAI values (range: 16–45). The 6% group had a higher end-tidal concentration (4.5% ± 0.2% vs. 3.8% ± 0.2%, p <
0.05) than did the 5% group, despite having the same target anesthetic levels by AAI score ≤10, whereas the estimated jugular bulb concentrations were comparable (1.9% vs. 1.9%) in both groups. Conclusions: Following mechanical ventilation with inspiratory 3%, 5%, or 6% sevoflurane, the end-tidal concentrations were discrepant at the same end points of AAI levels, despite similar estimated jugular bulb concentrations of sevoflurane. Thus, conventional alveolar concentration may overestimate anesthesia depth during rapid wash-in of sevoflurane.
