Overview Every patient responds to anesthesia differently, and sometimes that can be dramatic. However, the way to individualize the appropriate dose has not been refined since the introduction of the concept of minimum alveolar concentration (MAC). It is even more challenging for IV anesthetics than inhalational anesthetics due to the difficulty of measuring the drug plasma concentration. Ultimately, adequate suppression of one’s brain activity defines the optimal anesthesia depth. In this project, we plan to study the brain activity signatures during anesthesia with different anesthetics in experimental animals and analyze their dynamic correlations.
