Bispectral Index, Entropy, and Quantitative Electroencephalogram during Single-agent Xenon Anesthesia

Abstract

Electroencephalogram-derived depth of sedation indices BIS and Entropy showed a delay to detect loss of response during induction of xenon anesthesia. Both monitors performed well in distinguishing between conscious and unconscious states during steady-state anesthesia. Xenon-induced changes in electroencephalogram closely resemble those induced by propofol.
