Bispectral index changes during generalised tonic‐clonic seizures

Color density spectral array of bilateral bispectral index system: Electroencephalographic correlate in comatose patients with nonconvulsive status epilepticus

“…In those cases previously reported in the literature, although the BIS value was fluctuating, the raw EEG of b-BIS showed frank well-formed sharp waves or spikes in the monitor [8,24,25]. This means that the raw EEG of b-BIS had acceptable quality.…”

“…In recent years, the BIS has increased its use in the NICUs, not only for sedation monitoring [18,19], but also for other areas such as early detection of brain death [20,21] or prediction of neurological outcome [22,23]. In epilepsy, only a few cases have been previously described, reporting abrupt changes in the number of BIS during seizures, with conflicting results [8,[24][25][26][27]. It seems that BIS value is notably influenced by EMG activity and, therefore, its utility for prolonged monitoring is limited.…”

“…The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the CDSA of bilateral BIS (b-BIS) monitoring system in comatose patients with NCSE and during the anesthetic control of seizures Seizure 34 (2016) [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and, to report the differences between both states. Our hypothesis was that CDSA could be helpful for monitoring NCSE in critically subjects if cEEG is not available.…”

Multi-drug therapy for epilepsy influenced bispectral index after a bolus propofol administration without affecting propofol’s pharmacokinetics: a prospective cohort study

“…Epilepsy attacks obviously induce EEG changes; however, there have been few reports about the abnormal BIS values observed in patients with epilepsy. In addition, there have reports about both increases 26,27 and decreases in the BIS during seizures [28][29][30] , so the changes in the BIS seen during seizures remain unclear. In our study, most patients had well-controlled epilepsy, but some patients suffered regular small seizures.…”

“…Раптове різке зниження BIS з появою повільних хвиль високого вольтажу свідчить про розвиток генералізованого судомного нападу, а збільшення BIS після введення анти-конвульсантів -про його припинення [7].…”
