Abstract Objective
To compare t he performance of bispectral index (B IS) and t he auditory e2
voked response index ( AA I) in detecting transitions in consciousness during anest hesia induction wit h
propofol alone or propofol plus fentanyl. Methods
Anest hesia was induced wit h eit her an intravenous infu2
sion of 30 mg kg 1 h 1of propofol plus 2 g/ kg of fentanyl (group PF , n = 20) or propofol alone (group P ,
n = 20) . B IS , AA I and t he doses of propofol administered were recorded at t he endpoint of unrespon2
siveness to verbal commands. Plasma propofol concentration was also measured. Results
and its plasma concentration required for getting loss of consciousness were significantly lower in group PF
t han t hose in group P ( P < 0101) . The mean B IS value at t he loss of consciousness was significantly higher
in group PF t han t hat in group P ( P < 0101) . However ,no difference in AA I was found between t he two
groups at t he loss of consciousness ( P > 0105) . Conclusion
The AA I can measure t he transition from
consciousness to unconsciousness at similar value levels ,regardless of whet her or not fentanyl pretreat ment
was added ,whereas t he B IS values in patients in group PF were higher at t his endpoint t han t hose in group
P ,suggesting t hat compared wit h B IS ,t he AA I may be a better indicator of t he state of consciousness dur2
ing propofol/ fentanyl anest hesia ,and t hat AA I can detect t he transition of t he state of consciousness inde2pendent of t he anest hesia regimen. Key words

Panasil® contact two in one / Panasil® contact plus 1. The product Panasil® contact two in one and Panasil® contact plus are two addition-curing, precision impression materials (light bodies), belonging to the Panasil® family. Both products show the same particularly short intraoral setting times, but differ in their viscosities. Due to its thixotropic properties, the very low viscosity ma
