IMPLICATIONS: While anesthetic-induced generalized tonic-clonic convulsions are rare,
electroencephalographic seizure-like activity is common and may not be entirely benign …

Background: The neural mechanisms of anesthetic vapors have not been studied in depth.
However, modeling and experimental studies on the intravenous anesthetic propofol …

The burst-suppression pattern is well recognized as a distinct feature of the mammalian
electroencephalogram (EEG) waveform. Consisting of alternating periods of high amplitude …

OBJECTIVES: To quantify the degree of unconsciousness with EEG nonlinear analysis and

Background Sevoflurane has become the gold standard for inhalation induction in children.
However in children as in adults, epileptiform electroencephalographic signs have been …

Background: Use of high-dose inhalational anesthesia during open fetal surgery may induce
maternal–fetal hemodynamic instability and fetal myocardial depression. The authors' …

Sevoflurane-induced seizures are most often described during mask induction of anesthesia
when high concentrations of the volatile agent are administered concomitant with alveolar …

Background: The exact neurophysiological mechanisms of anesthetic-induced
unconsciousness are not yet fully elucidated. The cortical information integration theory …
