Abstract

In 21 patients given sevoflurane anesthesia, we simultaneously compared the abilities of Bispectral Index (BIS) and rapidly extracted auditory evoked potentials index (AAI) to display the effect of an increasing cerebral concentration of sevoflurane, with and without noxious stimulation. In addition to BIS/AAI, hemodynamic variables were monitored. After titrating sevoflurane to BIS = 50-55 during 15 min, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane (1.46% +/- 0.20%) was doubled followed by a noxious stimulus, laryngoscopy, applied at random time points within the following 15 min. After the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was doubled, a substantial reduction in BIS was observed, whereas only a slight reduction in AAI was seen (P < 0.0001). BIS/AAI responses to laryngoscopy were not attenuated with increasing wash-in of sevoflurane. After noxious stimulation, AAI exceeded the highest recommended value, 25, in 3 cases, whereas BIS did not exceed the recommended threshold, 60, in any of the patients. Response times for BIS and AAI were 44.5 +/- 26 and 47 +/- 31 s, respectively. These results suggest that, at a hypnotic level associated with surgical sevoflurane anesthesia, BIS better displays drug-related alterations in the ...Continue Reading

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
