The Influence of Age on Propofol Pharmacodynamics

Anesthesiology · 1999 · Vol. 90(6) · pp. 1502–1516.

Abstract

Semilinear canonical correlation defined a new measure of propofol effect on the EEG, the canonical univariate parameter for propofol. Using this parameter, propofol plasma effect-site equilibration is faster than previously reported. This fast onset was confirmed by inspection of the EEG data. Elderly patients are more sensitive to the hypnotic and EEG effects of propofol than are younger persons.
