Multimodal sedation guided by processed electroencephalography and autonomic nervous system monitoring for spinal cord stimulator implantation: retrospective identification of anesthetic drug doses
This study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of a multimodal sedation protocol for the placement of a spinal cord stimulator, combining propofol, remifentanil, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine, guided by electroencephalogram and nociception-antinociception monitoring.
