Bispectral index detects intraoperative cerebral ischaemia during balloon assisted cerebral aneurysm coiling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bispectral index (BIS) is a monitoring modality designed and used for monitoring depth of anaesthesia. We wish to report a case where BIS monitoring may have alerted us to a potential adverse neurological event during angiographic coiling of a cerebral aneurysm.

Bispectral index monitoring may not reliably indicate cerebral ischaemia during awake carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND Intraoperative ischaemia during carotid cross-clamping in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a major complication and prompt recognition of insufficient collateral blood supply is crucial. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is believed to be one of the useful forms of monitoring cerebrovascular insufficiency during CEA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of bi...
متن کاملAneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and the anaesthetist.
The anaesthetist may be involved at various stages in the management of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Thus, familiarity with epidemiological, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic issues is as important as detailed knowledge of the optimal intraoperative anaesthetic management. As the prognosis of SAH remains poor, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential, because ea...
متن کاملSymptomatic Cerebral Air Embolism During Stent-assisted Coiling of an Unruptured Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm: Intraoperative Diagnosis and Management of a Rare Complication
Symptomatic cerebral air embolism during cerebral angiography is extremely rare. We report on the case of a 69-year-old woman undergoing elective stent-assisted coiling of an unruptured right middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcation aneurysm, who was found to have severe attenuation of somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) and electroencephalography (EEG) during the procedure. Intra-operative D...
متن کاملThromboembolic Event Detected by Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging After Coil Embolization of Cerebral Aneurysms
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence rate of diffusion positive lesions (DPLs), and to assess the peri-procedural risk factors for the occurrence of DPLs in patients who underwent coil embolization of cerebral aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 304 saccular aneurysms were embolized during a seven-year period from Jan 2007 to Dec 2013. Of these, postopera...
متن کاملShould we monitor with bispectral index in all patients at high risk for seizures in the operating room?
We report the case of a patient with a cerebral aneurysm, located in the left middle cerebral artery. During the clipping of this aneurysm, the bispectral index (BIS) increased for no apparent reason. This was then interpreted as intraoperative non-convulsive status epilepticus. This clinical condition may have negative impact in the prognosis of the patient, so it is very important to be able ...
