Assessing Covert Consciousness During Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine Sedation: An fMRI Study

Abstract

This research is studying whether mental functions take place during different levels of anesthesia, using a commonly used drug (either dexmedetomidine \[with propofol in some participants\] or ketamine), which shows areas in the brain involved in thinking at different depths of anesthesia. As a result of this study, the researchers expect to gain a deeper understanding of mental function during different levels of anesthesia.
