A comparison of GABA-ergic (propofol) and non-GABA-ergic (dexmedetomidine) sedation on visual and motor cortical oscillations, using magnetoencephalography
Abstract:Phone number: +44 (0)2920870365
Running headlineOscillatory changes with dexmedetomidine and propofol sedation
SummaryBackground. Understanding the effects of anaesthetic drugs on cortical oscillations can help to elucidate the mechanistic link between receptor physiology and their clinical effects.Propofol produces divergent effects on visual cortical activity: increasing induced gammaband responses (GBR) while decreasing stimulus-onset-evoked responses) 1 .Dexmedetomidine, an α 2-adrenergic agonist, differs … Show more
