Outline of Final Research Achievements

Not only high invasive dental procedures but also minimally invasive dental procedures (taking impression, insertion of mouth opener, occlusal adjustment) increased the emotional sweating rate during intravenous sedation. It was found that continuous emotional sweating measurement could predict the patients' body movements as stress response. Monitoring system of emotional sweating could evaluate objectively the stress level not able to evaluate by BIS monitor or vital sign monitor. It was revealed that the emotional sweating monitoring might be useful to recognize the correct anesthetic depth under intravenous sedation.
