background cerebral state index (csi) is derived from electroencephalograms to monitor the level of consciousness during anesthesia. some evidence shows that this indicator has been used to detect cerebral ischemia and prognostic outcomes for traumatic brain injury (tbi). objectives the present study was designed to investigate the correlation between glasgow coma score (gcs) and csi for brain-...

background cerebral state index (csi) is derived from electroencephalogram (eeg) and is used for monitoring the level of consciousness during anesthesia. this study was designed to investigate the accuracy of glasgow coma scale (gcs) and csi as a predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with trauma brain injury (tbi). objective to compare the predictive value of gcs and csi for predicting...

INTRODUCTION Cerebral state monitor is a monitor which shows depth of anesthesia in a number between 0-100 as cerebral state index, in which 40-60 is appropriate for general anesthesia. The effect of electromyogram on cerebral state index has not been shown yet. CASE REPORT A 24-year-old Iranian-balooch man admitted in the intensive care unit because of head injury in a car accident. In spite...

objective: the morphology of anterior cerebral artery (aca) in patients with hydrocephalus was analyzed (hcp), and its importance was discussed in maintaining cerebral perfusion. materials & methods: two groups were created for the study. group 1; patients with hydrocephalus and group 2; as control group without hcp. in both groups, the length of the a2 segment of aca was measured from its orig...

background variables derived from electroencephalogram like cerebral state index (csi) have been used to monitor the anesthesia depth during general anesthesia. observed evidences show such variables have also been used as a detector of brain death or outcome predictor in traumatic brain-injured (tbi) patients. objectives the current study was designed to determine the correlation between glasg...
