The impact of age on bispectral index values and EEG bispectrum during anaesthesia with desflurane and halothane in children

摘要

BackgroundThe relationship between end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, BIS and the EEG bispectrum in children appears dependent on age. The aim of this study was to quantify the BIS values at 1 MAC for desflurane and halothane, and explore the relationship with age for these anaesthetic agents in children.
