Electroencephalogram patterns observed during sedation with dexmedetomidine appear similar to those observed during general anesthesia with propofol. This is evident with the occurrence of slow (0.1–1 Hz), delta (1–4 Hz), propofol-induced alpha (8–12 Hz), and dexmedetomidine-induced spindle (12–16 Hz) oscillations. However, these drugs have different molecular mechanisms and behavioral properties, and are likely accompanied by distinguishing neural circuit dynamics. We measured 64-channel electroencephalogram under dexmedetomidine (n = 9) and propofol (n = 8) in healthy volunteers, 18–36 years of age. We administered dexmedetomidine with a 1mcg/kg loading bolus over 10 minutes, followed by a 0.7mcg/kg/hr infusion. For propofol, we used a computer controlled infusion to target the effect-site concentration gradually from and 0 µg/mL to 5 µg/mL. Volunteers listened to auditory stimuli and responded by button-press to determine unconsciousness. We analyzed the electroencephalogram using multitaper spectral and coherence analysis. Dexmedetomidine was characterized by spindles with maximum power and coherence at ~13 Hz, (mean±std; power, −10.8dB±3.6; coherence, 0.8±0.08), while propofol was characterized with frontal alpha oscillations with peak frequency at ~11 Hz (power, 1.1dB±4.5; coherence, 0.9±0.05). Notably, slow oscillation power during a general anesthetic state under propofol (power, 13.2dB±2.4) was much larger than during sedative states under both propofol (power, −2.5dB±3.5) and dexmedetomidine (power, −0.4dB±3.1). Our results indicate that dexmedetomidine and propofol place patients into different brain states, and suggests that propofol enables a deeper state of unconsciousness by inducing large amplitude slow oscillations that produce prolonged states of neuronal silence.
