Propofol and sevoflurane induce distinct burst suppression patterns in rats

چکیده
Burst suppression is an EEG pattern characterized by alternating periods of high-amplitude activity (bursts) and relatively low amplitude activity (suppressions). Burst suppression can arise from several different pathological conditions, as well as from general anesthesia. Here we review current algorithms that are used to quantify burst suppression, its various etiologies, and possible underlying mechanisms. We then review clinical applications of anesthetic-induced burst suppression. Finally, we report the results of our new study showing clear electrophysiological differences in burst suppression patterns induced by two common general anesthetics, sevoflurane and propofol. Our data suggest that the circuit mechanisms that generate burst suppression activity may differ among general anesthetics.

Anesthesia and electrocorticography for epilepsy surgery: a Jordanian experience.
OBJECTIVE Electrocorticography (ECoG) may be used to guide epilepsy surgery. However, anesthetics can suppress epileptiform activity or induce confounding burst-suppression patterns and the relationship between ECoG results and seizure outcome is controversial. In this study, we evaluated the ECoG activity under several different anesthetics and examined the relationship between ECoG and outcom...
متن کاملEvoked EEG patterns during burst suppression with propofol.
BACKGROUND During EEG suppression with isoflurane or sevoflurane anaesthesia, median nerve stimulation causes cortical responses of two kinds: an N20 wave with a latency of 20 ms and an EEG burst with a latency of 200 ms. We tested the possibility that median nerve stimulation during EEG suppression with propofol would cause an EEG response that was consistent enough to be of use for neuromonit...
متن کاملOrexin-B antagonized respiratory depression induced by sevoflurane, propofol, and remifentanil in isolated brainstem-spinal cords of neonatal rats.
Orexins (hypocretins) play a crucial role in arousal, feeding, and endocrine function. We previously reported that orexin-B activated respiratory neurons in the isolated brainstem-spinal cords of neonatal rats. We herein determined whether orexin-B antagonized respiratory depression induced by sevoflurane, propofol, or remifentanil. We recorded C4 nerve bursts as an index of inspiratory activit...
متن کاملBurst suppression-MAC and burst suppression-CP₅₀ as measures of cerebral effects of anaesthetics.
BACKGROUND MAC (minimum alveolar concentration of an inhaled anaesthetic) and CP₅₀i (minimum plasma concentration of i.v. anaesthetics) are well-established measures to compare potencies of anaesthetics. The underlying clinical endpoint immobility reflects mainly effects of anaesthetics on the spinal cord, which limits the use of this measure for comparison of effects on the main target organ o...
متن کاملA Randomized Controlled Trial Comparison of NeuroSENSE and Bispectral Brain Monitors During Propofol-Based Versus Sevoflurane-Based General Anesthesia.
BACKGROUND NeuroSENSE is a depth of anesthesia monitor that uses automated electroencephalogram quantification. The Wavelet-based Anesthetic Value for Central Nervous System (WAVCNS) index calculated by this monitor is based on wavelet analysis of a normalized electroencephalogram signal in the γ-frequency band. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of disagreement between the Bispe...
