“…However, probably due to the complexity of electrode placement and interpretation, there have been very few case reports [3,4] or human studies [5] on the relationship between EEG and the state of cerebral perfusion in anaesthetised patients. BIS, derived from multivariate analysis of rolling .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. [6], decreases in its value during hypotension or cardiac arrest [1,7], analogous to the EEG changes above, have been reported. It has also been advocated as an anaesthesia monitor in cardiac surgery [8], where neurological complications are of concern, a fact that further increases the appreciation of this relationship due to the higher risk of cardiovascular complications in this type of surgery.…”
