Evaluation of the Cerebral State Index in Cats under Isoflurane Anaesthesia: Dose-Effect Relationship and Prediction of Clinical Signs

Table 4

Results from prediction probability (Pk) analysis calculated between the clinical scale of anaesthesia (Table 3) and the different parameters studied, from pooled data of the 10 cats. The Pk value and the Jackknife standard deviation (SE) are shown.

ParameterPk (SE)

EtIso0.94 (0.03)
CSI0.79 (0.07)
EMG (%)0.83 (0.08)
BS (%)0.75 (0.08)

EtIso: end-tidal concentration of isoflurane; CSI: cerebral state index; EMG: electromyographic activity (%); BS: burst suppression (%).
