Epileptiform EEG Patterns During Induction of General Anaesthesia With Sevoflurane Compared to Those With Propofol (EEG)
Influence of Volatile Induction of General Anaesthesia With Sevoflurane Using Two Different Techniques and Intravenous Induction Using Propofol on the Epileptiform Electroencephalograph Patterns:
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Both sevoflurane and propofol are considered safe and potent anaesthetics and are used for induction or coinduction of general anaesthesia. During all stages of general anaesthesia, both agents may induce seizure-like movements or seizures (clinically manifested events and confirming electroencephalographic pattern) accompanied by haemodynamic instability. Their proconvulsant activity should be verified and assessed.
The aim of the additional analysis was to identify whether observance of the variations of values displayed on different depth of anaesthesia monitors (DOA monitors) reliably reflect the actual depth of general anaesthesia during presence of epileptiform patterns (EPs) in EEGs during VIGA with sevoflurane using two different techniques and intravenous induction of general anaesthesia with single dose of propofol.
We performed standard 30-minute initial EEG recordings for all patients participating in the study to exclude any pre-existing epileptic EEG patterns. We took the initial EEG recordings in a dark quiet room for 5 minutes as a baseline, followed by three eye opening and closing sequences of 10 seconds each and photostimulation lasting 10 minutes (flash stimuli at frequencies of 3/6/9/12 Hz- alpha; 15/18/21/24 Hz- beta). Then we obtained another baseline reading and we asked the patients to achieve a state of hyperventilation by taking 20 forceful breathes per minute for five minutes. Finally, we obtained another baseline reading.
Throughout the induction of anaesthesia and the surgery, standard monitoring procedures were utilised to pay close attention to the vital parameters such as non-invasive arterial pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), standard electrocardiography (ECG) II, arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), fraction of inspired oxygen in the gas mixture (FiO2), facial electromyography (fEMG), fraction of inspired sevoflurane (FiAA), fraction of expired sevoflurane (FeAA), exhaled carbon dioxide concentration (etCO2), minimal alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (MAC).

---|---|
Experimental: sevoflurane - increasing concentrations
The patient was breathing spontaneously via the face mask and the sevoflurane concentration in the inhaled gas was doubled every 10 breaths starting from 0.3 vol.
% in a sequence 0.3-0.6-1.2-2.4-4.8-8
vol.
% until a minimal alveolar concentration (MAC) of 2 was obtained in the exhalation gas.
Electroencephalography (EEG), bispectral index (BIS), response and state entropy (RE and SE), middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) were monitored.
|
Four EEG channels were recorded using electrode positions as defined in the International 10-20 System with Ag/AgCl2 cup electrodes (Spes Medica) attached to the scalp with EC2 Electrode Cream (Grass Technologies).
The impedance was set below 1 k, and the electrodes were attached to module S/5 E-EEG of the anaesthetic monitor S/5 (GE Healthcare).
The BIS score was derived from a sensor (Aspect Medical Systems) positioned diagonally on the patients' foreheads according to producer's instructions.
The respone and state entropy (RE and SE) score was derived from a sensor (Aspect Medical Systems) positioned diagonally on the patients' foreheads according to producer's instructions.
value of A-line Auto Regressive Index (AAI) derived from middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) (A-line Monitor, Danmeter A/S, Odense, Denmark) was observed which measures the central nervous system responsiveness to a specific auditory stimulus
|
Experimental: sevoflurane - vital capacity
The anaesthetic circuit was prefilled with 8% sevoflurane.
The patients were asked to exhale to the residual volume.
Then the patients were explained to perform a vital-capacity breath with a face mask applied tightly to their faces.
Then the patients were encouraged to hold their breaths as long as possible.
Thereafter, the patients were asked to breathe spontaneously.
Electroencephalography (EEG), bispectral index (BIS), response and state entropy (RE and SE), middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) were monitored.

Experimental: propofol - intravenous induction
the patients were preoxygenated with 100% oxygen following which propofol was intravenously administered at a single dose of 2.5 mg/kg of body weight, after which it was infused with an infusion speed of 4 mg/kg body weight/h.
Electroencephalography (EEG), bispectral index (BIS), response and state entropy (RE and SE), middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP) were monitored.
