Randomized Controlled TrialSevoflurane-induced changes in infants' quantifiable electroencephalogram parameters.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) based depth of anesthesia algorithms developed in the adult population have not demonstrated the same reliability when applied to infants. This may be due to frequency changes occurring in the EEG during development. Amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) is based primarily in the time domain and hence may have greater utility in infants. ⋯ The aEEG is unlikely to be a useful measure of anesthesia depth in young children.
