Use of EEG spectral edge as index of equipotency in a comparison of propofol and isoflurane for maintenance of general anaesthesia.

abstract：:The majority of contemporary gas delivery modules, on anaesthetic workstations, are equipped with oxygen-nitrous oxide proportioning systems which should prevent the delivery of hypoxic gas mixtures. We investigated five modules, of two different types, using fresh gas flows ranging from 50 mL min-1 to 20 L min-1 with...
