Conditions: Pain
Keywords: Bispectral Index Ketamine
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 25
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The study question: Does the SNAP-Index (SI) correlates better with the OASS than the BIS Monitor during sedation with ketamine?

The study hypothesis: Since the SNAP II monitor seems to be more responsive during emergence of anesthesia, it will have a better correlation with the OASS than the BIS monitor with the use of ketamine.
