Randomized Controlled TrialEEG profiles during general anesthesia in children: A comparative study between sevoflurane and propofol.
In this prospective study, we describe the electroencephalographic (EEG) profiles in children anesthetized with sevoflurane or propofol. ⋯ Under deep anesthesia, the BIS and electroencephalographic profiles differ between propofol and sevoflurane. For high concentrations of sevoflurane, an elevated BIS value may be interpreted as a sign of epileptoid patterns or EEG fast oscillations rather than an insufficient depth of hypnosis.
