Abstract:
During pentobarbital coma, electroencephalographic monitoring is used to document burst suppression (3-5 episodes of electrical activity/min). The current study evaluates the association of the bispectral index number and suppression ratio with a burst suppression pattern on electroencephalograph. The records of 7 patients (aged 2.9-14 years) who received pentobarbital for elevated intracranial pressure were retrospectively reviewed. The bispectral index number was 7 +/- 5, 14 +/- 3, and 37 +/- 12, whereas the suppression ratio was 93 +/- 7%, 75 +/- 6%, and 29 +/- 18% when the electroencephalograph showed
