The purpose of this study is investigate the relationship between BIS™ and propofol with/without remifentanil across a wide range of hypnotic states.
This is a single-center, prospective, non-randomized, cross-over study to collect data to evaluate the relationship between BIS™ and anesthetic regimens. The subjects will receive two regimens of anesthesia with different drug combinations, with at least a 1-week washout period between regimens. Subjects will be sequentially assigned to start with either Propofol (P) or Propofol with 4 ng/ml of Remifentanil (R) regimens while BIS™ bilateral sensor placed on the subject's forehead. The Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scale, refer to Appendix A, will be used to measure the level of alertness in sedated subjects with Tetanic Electrical Stimulation (TES) being used once subjects reach a MOAA/S score \<2.

BIS50
To determine BIS50 (BIS™ value at which 50% of patients will be unresponsive at given drug concentrations) and other dose-response parameters. BIS™ is a scale 0-100 with values near 100 represent an "awake" clinical state while 0 denotes the maximal EEG effect possible (i.e., an isoelectric EEG). Responsiveness is measured using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/ Sedation (MOAA/S). Below a MOAA/S of 2, responsiveness is measured with Tetanic Electrical Stimulation (TES). The subject will receive one stimulation of 50mA, 50 Hz for 5 seconds. Their response, such as withdrawal of the extremity, a facial grimace, or a verbal groan will be recorded. Approximately 2 minutes after this assessment, the BIS™ value will be recorded. When the subject does not respond to the TES stimulation, they will be considered unresponsive and that BIS™ value will be used to determine the BIS50.
Time frame: 4 hours
BIS95
To determine BIS95 (BIS™ value at which 95% of patients will be unresponsive at given drug concentrations) and other dose-response parameters. BIS™ is a scale 0-100 with values near 100 represent an "awake" clinical state while 0 denotes the maximal EEG effect possible (i.e., an isoelectric EEG). Responsiveness is measured using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S). Below a MOAA/S of 2, responsiveness is measured with Tetanic Electrical Stimulation (TES). The subject will receive one stimulation of 50mA, 50 Hz for 5 seconds. Their response, such as withdrawal of the extremity, a facial grimace, or a verbal groan will be recorded. Approximately 2 minutes after this assessment, the BIS™ value will be recorded. When the subject does not respond to the TES stimulation, they will be considered unresponsive and that BIS™ value will be used to determine the BIS95.
