✦ Synopsis

Summary We have studied the effects of nitrous oxide on the auditory evoked response index (AAI™‐index) derived from the A‐line monitoring device during sevoflurane anaesthesia in 21 patients undergoing minor ambulatory surgery. During sevoflurane anaesthesia with an AAI™‐index < 30, the addition or withdrawal of nitrous oxide in a concentration of 66% end tidal did not show any linear dose dependent change in AAI™‐index. However, comparing nitrous oxide > 40% to nitrous oxide < 10% end tidal concentration the AAI™‐index did decrease, p < 0.05. The AAI™‐index is either non‐linear at deeper anaesthetic levels or is insensitive to the anaesthetic effects of nitrous oxide in terms of MAC‐multiples.

Ephedrine, a sympathomimetic drug, may stimulate the central nervous system via its amphetamine‐like effect under light general anaesthesia. We compared the effect of ephedrine on auditory‐evoked potentials with that of etilefrine, a sympathomimetic drug that lacks an amphetamine‐like effect, in pat

Ninety-one patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups. Group A was induced with a single vital capacity breath of 6% (end-tidal) sevoflurane in nitrous oxide-oxygen (2 : 1 l.min-1), whereas group B was induced with intravenous fentanyl 1 microg.kg-1 + propofol 2 mg.kg-1 followed by nitrou
