The Bispectral Index in children: comparing isoflurane and halothane.
BACKGROUND The Bispectral Index (BIS) has been calibrated for several general anaesthetic agents including isoflurane. Halothane is still used in paediatric anaesthesia. Compared with other volatile anaesthetics, halothane has a different receptor affinity and differing effects on the EEG. There are limited data evaluating the BIS with halothane. We set out to compare the BIS using halothane an...
متن کاملThe performance of Bispectral Index in children during equi-MAC halothane vs. sevoflurane anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The reliability of the Bispectral Index for evaluating and monitoring the depth of general anaesthesia in children is not as great as for that in adults. Therefore we analysed Bispectral Index performance in children by comparing changes in Bispectral Index values during a standardized and equipotent anaesthetic regimen using either halothane or sevoflurane for the indu...
متن کاملISOFLURANE VERSUS HALOTHANE Physical properties of Isoflurane compared to Halothane
Isoflurane is a haloginated ether, is stable when stored and is presented as 99.9% pure product. The absence of a preservative make vaporisation more efficient and it is very unlikely that moving parts of the vaporiser will stick. The physical properties of isoflurane are similar to those of halothane. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane in the different target species is det...
متن کاملEffects of halothane, isoflurane and enflurane on ventilation in children.
The ventilatory effects of halothane in eight children were compared with those of isoflurane in eight children and enflurane in six children. All studies were completed before surgery commenced, and the children received no preoperative medication. The depression of ventilation produced by the three agents increased in a dose-related fashion as the alveolar concentrations were increased, and t...
متن کاملThe impact of age on bispectral index values and EEG bispectrum during anaesthesia with desflurane and halothane in children.
BACKGROUND The relationship between end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, bispectral index (BIS) and the EEG bispectrum in children appears to be age dependent. The aim of this study was to quantify the BIS values at 1 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) for desflurane and halothane, and explore the relationship with age for these anaesthetic agents in children. METHODS ECG, EEG and BIS were ...
