[Processed electroencephalogram in children anesthetized with sevoflurane. Is it feasible?].

Background And Objectives: EEG-derived bispectral index (BIS), has been indicated as a major substrate for measuring hypnotic effects of anesthetic drugs. However, there are only limited data on the use of EEG in anesthetized children. This study aimed at evaluating changes in BIS, SEF95%, relative delta band frequency amplitude (d%) and suppression rate (SR) in children, correlating these changes with sevoflurane pharmacodynamic variables (EC and EC/MAC) as compared to adults.
