Post-circumcision analgesia: comparison of topical analgesia with dorsal nerve block using the midline and lateral approaches.

abstract：BACKGROUND:State entropy (SE) is a newly available monitor for depth of anaesthesia. We investigated whether the relationship between predicted effect-site propofol concentration and Bispectral Index (BIS) and SE values is useful for predicting loss of verbal contact and loss of consciousness during steady-state condit...
