Effects on the bispectral index during elective caesarean section: a comparison of propofol and isoflurane.
BACKGROUND Awareness during general anesthesia has been a particular problem during caesarean section. About 7 percent of patients undergoing elective caesarean section have reported dreaming or recall of voices during the procedure. The bispectral index (BIS), a value derived from the electroencephalogram (EEG), has been shown to be useful in monitoring the depth of anesthesia. Supplementation...
متن کاملUptake of halothane and isoflurane by mother and baby during caesarean section.
Twenty-three patients undergoing Caesarean section received either 0.5% halothane or 0.8% isoflurane to supplement nitrous oxide-oxygen anaesthesia. We studied the rate of uptake of the agents by the mother and fetus by measuring partial pressures in maternal arterial (Pa) and fetal umbilical venous (Puv) blood. Mean induction-delivery interval did not differ between the halothane (10.8 min) an...
متن کاملIsoflurane with either 100% oxygen or 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen for caesarean section.
Two hundred mothers undergoing general anaesthesia for Caesarean section were allocated randomly to receive either 100% oxygen (group 100) or 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen (group 50), both supplemented with isoflurane. In each group the concentrations of isoflurane were chosen to deliver 1.5 MAC for the first 5 min after induction and 1.0 MAC thereafter. The mean umbilical venous PO2 was greater ...
متن کاملAuditory evoked response and awareness: a study in volunteers at sub-MAC concentrations of isoflurane.
We have investigated the relationship between the auditory evoked response (AER) and simple tests of conscious awareness at four end-expiratory concentrations (0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 MAC) of isoflurane in oxygen in each of eight anaesthetist volunteers, in random order, at least 1 week apart. The early cortical AER was recorded from electrodes at the vertex and inion. Amplitudes of the waves Pa,...
متن کاملThe effect of isoflurane anesthesia on memory
Memory and learning are considered as the most complicated and important processes of behavioral sciences. On the other hand, considering the wide .and progressively increasing applications of anesthetic agents all over the world, it is of great importance to have a reasonable knowledge regarding their effects on the memory process and its retrieval. The main purpose of this study was to evalua...
