In order to determine the degree of awareness in patients with traumatic brain injury, this study will correlate the FOUR score with the bispectral index (BIS) and global consciousness score (GCS). Methods Twenty TBI patients with traumatic brain injury who were hospitalised to the surgical ICU at Cairo University Hospital participated in our prospective observational research. An observer who was blind to the BIS values assessed each of the FOUR scores and GCS (Covidien BIS complete monitoring system, Mansfield, MA, USA). Each patient provided four sets of readings. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to perform a correlation between the FOUR score, GCS, and BIS (r). Results There was a significant correlation between BIS and FOUR score (r = 0.854, 95% confidence interval: 0.780–0.904) (P < 0.001). There was also a significant correlation between BIS and GCS (r = 0.864, 95% confidence interval: 0.795–0.911) (P < 0.001). Conclusion There is a strong correlation between FOUR score, GCS, and BIS values in patients with traumatic brain injury. FOUR score seems a reliable alternative for GCS and BIS in the assessment of degree of consciousness, especially in intubated patients.","PeriodicalId":11437,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia","volume":"16 8 1","pages":"943 - 946"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139208598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, respiratory depression and cardiovascular adverse events commonly occur. Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate the effects of adding a single boules induction dose of fentanyl or magnesium sulphate to propofol infusion for sedation of patients subjected to ERCP. Methods This randomized parallel double-blind controlled trial included 60 adult patients scheduled for ERCP procedures. Before starting the propofol infusion, patients immediately received either magnesium sulphate 50 mg.kg−1 intravenously (IV) over 10 min (Group M) (n = 30) or fentanyl 2 µg.kg−1 IV over 10 min (Group F) (n- = 30). Continuous propofol infusion was given with a syringe pump for maintenance, with the initial rate set at 25–75 mic/kg/min IV during the first 10–15 min. Results The magnesium group had significantly reduced the total propofol consumption and increased the onset time of sedation than the fentanyl group (P < 0.05). Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were statistically lower after adjuvant bolus injection and 15 min in the magnesium group than in the fentanyl group (P < 0.001). Procedure time, involuntary movement, physician satisfaction, and complications exhibited no significant differences between both groups. Conclusions During ERCP, adding a single bolus of magnesium sulphate to propofol was associated with a lower total propofol consumption and better hemodynamics than fentanyl but with a delayed onset time of sedation and comparable respiratory depression.","PeriodicalId":11437,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia","volume":"313 1","pages":"936 - 942"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139212438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
