    Effect site concentrations of propofol producing hypnosis in children and adults
    (2006) Munoz, H. R.; Cortinez, L. I.; Ibacache, M. E.; Leon, P. J.
    Background: No study has determined the concentration of propofol producing a degree of hypnosis compatible with anaesthesia in children. As a result, concentrations determined in adults are recommended for children. As this can result in an inadequate depth of anaesthesia, we determined the predicted effect site concentration (C-e) of propofol necessary to obtain a bispectral index (BIS) of 50 in 50% (ECe50) of children and adults.
