Evaluation of the adequacy of general anesthesia in cesarean section by bispectral index

ABSTRACT

Background: Awareness and recall, though not common, are the major hazards of general anesthesia, especially in Cesarean section [C/S] because of the absence of benzodiazepine and opioids for a significant time during anesthesia. In this study, the Bispectral Index [BIS], end-tidal isoflurane, and hemodynamic parameters were examined to evaluate the depth of the routine general anesthetic technique in C/S
