Summary
This study tested whether a 4-channel EEG brain monitor can help doctors give the right amount of sedation during ERCP, a procedure to treat bile duct problems. 84 adults received propofol sedation, and the monitor tracked their brain activity to guide dosing. The goal was to keep patients safely sedated while allowing them to wake up quickly afterward.
