Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Sedation depth

Experimental: "light" sedation - In this study the depth of sedation will be guided by the Bispectral Index monitor (BIS monitor). A BIS value of 70-80 will be targeted in the "light" sedation arm.

Active comparator: "deep" sedation - In this study the "deep" sedation arm will have a BIS value of less than 60 targeted.


Other interventions: Sedation depth
The intervention is the depth of sedation targeted in this study.

Patients enrolled in this study will be sedated with the same medications (fentanyl bolus and propofol target controlled infusion), and at the same starting doses, in each study arm. However, the depth of sedation targeted will differ between the arms, and this depth will be guided by the BIS monitor.

It is expected that those patients randomised to "deep" sedation will require a higher dose of sedative medication to achieve their target BIS value (\<60) than those in the "light" sedation group (BIS 70-80).
