Influence of Volatile Induction of General Anaesthesia With Sevoflurane Using Two Different Techniques and Intravenous Induction Using Propofol on the Epileptiform Electroencephalograph Patterns:
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating electroencephalography (EEG), bispectral index (BIS), and 2 other interventions for General Anaesthesia and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study was to assess the influence of volatile induction of general anaesthesia with sevoflurane using two different techniques and intravenous anaesthesia with propofol on the possible presence of epileptiform electroencephalograph patterns during the induction of general anaesthesia. We aimed to verify whether presence of epileptiform patterns (EPs) defined as polispikes (PS), rhytmic polispikes (RPS), periodic epileptiform discharges (PED) on Electroencephalographs (EEGs) influence the behaviour of values of the Bispectral Index (BIS), State (SE) and Response (RE), A-line Auto Regressive Index (AAI) derived from middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) during the induction of general anaesthesia using abovementioned techniques and such variations may be useful in detection of presence of EPs.

Interventions
Four EEG channels were recorded using electrode positions as defined in the International 10-20 System with Ag/AgCl2 cup electrodes (Spes Medica) attached to the scalp with EC2 Electrode Cream (Grass Technologies). The impedance was set below 1 k, and the electrodes were attached to module S/5 E-EEG of the anaesthetic monitor S/5 (GE Healthcare).
The BIS score was derived from a sensor (Aspect Medical Systems) positioned diagonally on the patients' foreheads according to producer's instructions.
The respone and state entropy (RE and SE) score was derived from a sensor (Aspect Medical Systems) positioned diagonally on the patients' foreheads according to producer's instructions.
value of A-line Auto Regressive Index (AAI) derived from middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) (A-line Monitor, Danmeter A/S, Odense, Denmark) was observed which measures the central nervous system responsiveness to a specific auditory stimulus
