Skin conductance monitoring compared with Bispectral Index to assess emergence from total i.v. anaesthesia using propofol and remifentanil.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to explore difficulties at work from anaesthetists' own perspective and to examine how anaesthetists handle and cope with situations that are perceived as difficult and potentially stressful. METHODS:Two sets of interviews were conducted with 19 specialist anaesthetists in Sweden. ...
