BiSpectral Index (BIS) monitoring may detect critical hypotension before automated non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement during general anaesthesia; a case report.

چکیده
A patient undergoing general anaesthesia for neurosurgery exhibited an unexpected sudden decrease in the BiSpectral Index (BIS) value to near-zero. This prompted the detection of profound hypotension using non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement and expedited urgent assessment and treatment, with the patient making a full recovery. Widely regarded as a 'depth of anaesthesia' monitor, this case demonstrates the potential extra clinical benefit BIS may have in the detection of critical incidents such as anaphylaxis during general anaesthesia.

Pre-existing arterial stiffness can predict hypotension during induction of anaesthesia in the elderly.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to establish whether elevated carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-fPWV), an indicator of aortic stiffness, assessed before surgery, is correlated with variations in arterial pressure (AP) during induction of anaesthesia in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiovascular surgery. METHODS c-fPWV was measured with the PulsePen(®) device during pre-su...

Received: January 11, 2017 Revised: March 31, 2017 Accepted: April 01, 2017 Abstract: Background: Continuous cardiovascular monitoring as part of management of high-risk surgical patients is widely practiced, however the role of continuous monitoring as part of routine management in low-risk surgical patients is unclear. Our aim was to investigate haemodynamic and Bispectral Index (BIS) changes...
متن کاملContinuous Non-Invasive Arterial Pressure Technique Improves Patient Monitoring during Interventional Endoscopy
INTRODUCTION Close monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) is a central part of cardiovascular surveillance of patients at risk for hypotension. Therefore, patients undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with the use of sedating agents are monitored by discontinuous non-invasive BP measurement (NIBP). Continuous non-invasive BP monitoring based on vascular unloading technique (CNAP...
متن کاملDetermining entropy values equivalent to the bispectral index values during sevoflurane anaesthesia
INTRODUCTION We aimed to identify the entropy levels that would be equivalent to the bispectral index (BIS) levels in sevoflurane anaesthesia in patients who are to undergo elective lumbar disc surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty cases in ASA groups I-II who underwent lumbar disc surgery under general anaesthesia were included in our study after obtaining the consent of the patients and Ethi...
متن کاملComparison of bispectral EEG analysis and auditory evoked potentials for monitoring depth of anaesthesia during propofol anaesthesia.
We have compared the auditory evoked potential index (AEPIndex) and bispectral index (BIS) for monitoring depth of anaesthesia in spontaneously breathing surgical patients. Twenty patients (aged 17-49 yr) undergoing day surgery were anaesthetized with computer-controlled infusions of propofol. The mean (SD and range) of each measurement was determined during consciousness and unconsciousness an...
