Popis: Background and Aims: Sedation improves patient satisfaction, comfort and acceptance of regional anaesthesia. Propofol using bispectral index (BIS)/target-controlled infusion (TCI) system can be an optimal method of sedation, as it combines objective measurement of sedation using BIS along with maintenance of a steady plasma concentration of propofol with the TCI device. The aim of this study was to ascertain the dose and safety of propofol using BIS/TCI system for sedation in patients undergoing surgeries under neuraxial anaesthesia. Methods: One hundred and seven adult patients, undergoing elective surgical procedures under spinal or combined spinal epidural anaesthesia, were recruited. Propofol infusion was started with TCI at an initial target plasma concentration (Cpt) of 1.2 μg/mL, and after equilibration between Cpt and effect site concentration (Ce), propofol was then adjusted in increments and/or decrements of 0.2 μg/mL in order to maintain a BIS value between 60 and 80. The average time to reach BIS = 80 after starting infusion was 7.32 ± 3.13 minutes. The objective was to calculate mean Cpt value maintaining BIS between 60 and 80 and to observe recovery time and complications. Results: Mean Cpt value was 1.13 ± 0.17 μg/mL with 95% confidence interval (1.10–1.16 μg/mL). In 85% of patients, a BIS value of 60–80 was maintained at Cpt ≤ 1.2 μg/mL. No patient had severe complications requiring stoppage of infusion. Conclusion: Propofol sedation using BIS/TCI system can provide safe and convenient sedation during neuraxial anaesthesia at very low plasma concentration, Cpt ≤ 1.2 μg/mL in majority of patients. There were no periprocedural complications, and recovery was rapid.
