Comparative evaluation of the cerebral state index and the bispectral index during target-controlled infusion of propofol.

abstract：:Infusion thrombophlebitis is a common complication of i.v. infusions. Many factors appear to be involved in its aetiology, of which the duration of infusion, the drugs infused and the solution(s) infused are the most important. Effective prophylaxis should be based on an understanding of the possible pathophysiology. ...
