Burst suppression on amplitude‐integrated electroencephalogram may be induced by midazolam: a report on three cases

Abstract

These findings indicated that midazolam can cause burst suppression on aEEG. Therefore, the prognostic value of aEEG is limited in case of high serum levels of midazolam. Serum levels of midazolam should be measured in infants who have burst suppression patterns on aEEG during midazolam treatment.
