A J Thomson et al.
Anaesthesia, 69(5), 420-428 (2014-04-18)
Debate continues over the most appropriate blood-brain equilibration rate constant (ke0) for use with the Marsh pharmacokinetic model for propofol. We aimed to define the optimal ke0 value. Sixty-four patients were sedated with incremental increases in effect-site target concentration of
