INITIAL PHASE: Set CpT at 1.4µg ml-1 and Start TCI propofol (1%). Monitor CeT and assess sedation as CeT
rises to 1.0 µg ml-1, 1.2µg ml-1and 1.4µg ml-1. The patient is likely to be under sedated in this initial phase but
follow the algorithm below if they become adequately sedated or require no further sedation.
If the patient remains under sedated when CpT and CeT = 1.4µg ml-1 then proceed to the TITRATION PHASE.
TITRATION PHASE: If the patient remains under sedated when CpT and CeT =S1.4µg ml-1 then
increase the CpT by 0.2µg ml-1 every 2 minutes to a maximum of 4.0 µg ml-1.
Asses the sedation level every 2 minutes. When CpT is 2.6µg ml-1 then a second healthcare
professional should also assess the sedation level before proceeding further to a maximum
of 4.0 µg ml-1.
On completion of the reduction the infusion should be stopped and the patient observed until complete recovery
