Monday, August 7, 2023

The researchers found that Masimo Patient State Index (PSi), a SedLine parameter derived from electroencephalographic (EEG) data, was statistically significantly associated with dexmedetomidine dosage, and, along with another EEG metric, “better captured changes in brain state from dexmedetomidine and ha[s] potential to improve the monitoring of dexmedetomidine sedation.”1

Key Points: 
  • The researchers found that Masimo Patient State Index (PSi), a SedLine parameter derived from electroencephalographic (EEG) data, was statistically significantly associated with dexmedetomidine dosage, and, along with another EEG metric, “better captured changes in brain state from dexmedetomidine and ha[s] potential to improve the monitoring of dexmedetomidine sedation.”1
    This press release features multimedia.
  • Better sedation assessment – an improved understanding of its impact and corresponding EEG changes – could help support more widespread adoption of the drug.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of these methods, the researchers compared them both against dexmedetomidine concentration and against each other.
  • This work helps clinicians use SedLine as an objective measure reflecting how the brain is responding to this important sedative, dexmedetomidine.”
