Objective: To compare BIS values during standardized sevoflurane anaesthesia in children with end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, haemodynamic parameters and the speed of recovery.
Design: Clinical prospective observational study.
Setting: Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine of P. J. Šafárik University, Košice, Slovakia.
Materials and methods: 96 children scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia were included in the study. They were divided into 2 age groups (1–3 and 3–15 years of age). The anaesthesia protocol included i.v. induction and maintenance with sevoflurane. Sevoflurane concentration was adjusted according to MAC, movement to painful stimuli and vegetative signs.
Results: In both the age groups BIS values showed a correlation with end-tidal sevoflurane concentration (r= -0.51–0.58, p 60 (age group 1–3 yrs: 45.8 ± 27 min vs. 35.1 ± 23 min, p
Conclusion: In children aged 1–15 years of age the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane correlated closer with BIS than with MAP and did not correlate with the heart rate. Children with perioperative BIS 60.
Key words: paediatric anaesthesia – bispectral index – sevoflurane
