Using a pulse oximeter to determine clinical depth of anesthesia —investigation of the utility of the perfusion index
ConclusionThe perfusion index changed significantly during different stages of anesthesia. There is a significant correlation between the perfusion index, measured by pulse oximetry, and the MAC value, in pediatric patients undergoing minor procedures.
