Geographic differences in the target-controlled infusion estimated concentration of propofol: bispectral index response curves
2011
Purpose
Variability in drug responses could result from both genetic and environmental factors. Thus, drug effect could depend on geographic location, although regional variation is not generally acknowledged as a basis for stratification. There is evidence that the pharmacokinetic set developed in a European population for the target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol does not apply in Chinese patients; however, we are not aware of previous studies comparing the estimated concentration-bispectral index (BIS) response of Caucasian patients in Europe with that of Chinese patients in China.
