Room H, 10/17/2000 9: 00 AM - 11: 00 AM (PS) Comparison of BiSpectral Index (BIS) EEG Monitoring in Children Below 2 Years Age and Older Children 

MACEI and MACawake of sevoflurane in infants with obstructive jaundice

“…In addition, processed electroencephalography (EEG) and other monitors of conscious level have been developed in adults but are not suitable to infants because the infant EEG is different . Several recent published reports suggest that BIS is a reliable monitor of anesthetic depth in infants over 6 months to 1 year of age, but the suitability and validity of BIS monitoring during early infancy (i.e., 2–3 months after birth as in our infants) have not been convincingly established, explaining why BIS was not included in this study to report awakening .…”

Effect of oral midazolam premedication on the awakening concentration of sevoflurane, recovery times and bispectral index in children

“…Several recent published reports suggest that BIS is both a reliable monitor of anaesthetic depth and has utility for titrating anaesthetic administration in paediatric patients over 6 months to 1 year of age. The reliability of BIS monitoring during early infancy has not been convincingly established (14–17).…”
