Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate Bispectral Index values and awareness during two different anaesthesia regimens (fentanyl-propofol and fentanyl-midazolam) in patients undergoing off-pump CABG surgery.
Methods: Fifty patients were included in the study. Patients were premedicated with midazolam and were randomly divided into two groups. Anaesthesia was induced with fentanyl (7-15 microg/kg), with either propofol (2 - 2.5 mg/kg, Group I) or midazolam (0.1 - 0.3 mg/kg, Group II) and vecuronium (0.1 mg/kg). Anaesthesia was maintained with fentanyl (15 microg/kg/h) together with either propofol (6 mg/kg/h) or midazolam (0.1 mg/kg/h). Depth of anaesthesia was adjusted according to clinical signs and haemodynamic responses. The level of sedation was monitored with Bispectral index continuously, but these levels were not shown to the attending anaesthetist. Bispectral index values were recorded for nine phases. Twenty-four hours after the operation, the patients were interviewed to determine intraoperative awareness and recall.
Results: In all patients, Bispectral index values were found to decrease after induction (in Group I, p = 0.005, in Group II, p = 0.008) with the mean values remaining below 60 for all phases. The differences between the groups were not statistically significant in inter-group comparison. No patients were noted to recall the sounds presented during the operation and the preoperative events.
Conclusions: BIS monitoring with clinical signs may be used to assess the adequacy of both types of anaesthesia techniques as well as to detect awareness during off-pump CABG surgery.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAAS) score and the bispectral index (BIS) during propofol titration for general anesthesia induction and analyze the impact of BIS monitoring delay on anesthetic depth assessment.
Methods: This study was conducted among 90 patients (ASA class I-II) undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia. For anesthesia induction, the patients received propofol titration at the rate of 0.
Noradrenergic suppression to reduce electroencephalographic arousal after intubation: a randomised, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Intraoperative awareness, without explicit recall, occurs after induction of anaesthesia in approximately 10% of persons under 40 yr of age. Most anaesthetic agents minimally suppress the noradrenergic system. We hypothesised that addition of dexmedetomidine, which suppresses noradrenergic activity, may reduce encephalographic (EEG) arousal in response to tracheal intubation; such an effect would lay the foundation for future studies of dexmedetomidine in reducing intraoperative awareness.

Introduction: Accurate prognostication in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest is a challenging and high-stakes endeavor. We sought to determine whether internal EEG subparameters extracted by the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor, a device commonly used to estimate depth-of-anesthesia intraoperatively, could be repurposed to predict recovery of consciousness after cardiac arrest.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we trained a 3-layer neural network to predict recovery of consciousness to the point of command following versus not based on 48 hours of continuous EEG recordings in 315 comatose patients admitted to a single US academic medical center after cardiac arrest (Derivation cohort: N=181; Validation cohort: N=134).

Background: We investigated the consistency and accuracy of the Index of Consciousness (IoC) and the Bispectral Index (BIS) in monitoring the sedative effect of ciprofol during the induction of general anesthesia. There is extensive literature that reports good consistency and correlations between the IoC1 and the BIS in reflecting the sedation levels induced by propofol and sevoflurane but not by ciprofol.
Objective: The aim was to compare the consistency and accuracy of the IoC and BIS in monitoring the sedative effect of ciprofol during the induction of general anesthesia.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between Bispectral Index (BIS) and age-adjusted Minimum Alveolar Concentration (aaMAC) during anesthesia maintenance in adults.
- Factors such as age, ASA status, and specific anesthetic agents were found to influence BIS readings, indicating that older patients and those given certain drugs showed higher BIS at the same aaMAC.
- A generalized estimation equation was developed to predict either BIS or aaMAC based on known values, despite significant variances in their relationship.
