Bispectral Index Changes during Acute Brainstem TIA/Ischemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a 76-year-old patient who suffered a brainstem TIA just before being anesthetised for cardiac surgery. The TIA was registered on BIS and resulted in a drop in BIS to a value of 60. When consciousness returned spontaneously, the BIS increased to 85. The relative use of the BIS during an operation is discussed. We believe that the lack of input from the brainstem to the frontal cortex resulted in the reduced cortical electrical activity as registered with the BIS.

Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring is commonly used to provide a measure of depth during general anaesthesia in attempt to reduce the rare occurrence of awareness [1,2]. The Bispectral Index is a generated number between 0 and 100 that is derived through utilization of a number of advanced EEG signal processing techniques including bispectral analysis, power spectral analysis, and time domain an...

Background &Objective: Plaryngoscopy and tracheal intubation increase not only blood pressure and heart rate but also Bispectral Index (BIS) of the patients. In this study, hemodynamic and BIS changes were surveyed after tracheal intubation and during general anesthesia followed by mexiletine prescription . Materials & Methods: In this study, 50 patients aged between 20 and 60 who were ca...
متن کاملBispectral index correlates with regional cerebral blood flow during sleep in distinct cortical and subcortical structures in humans.
The relationship between the Bispectral Index (BIS), an EEG-based monitor of anesthesia, and brain activity is still unclear. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between changes in BIS values during natural sleep and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) variations, as measured by Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Data were obtained from six young, healthy, right-handed, male vol...
