[Electroencephalogram, informational saturation of electroencephalogram, and bispectral index during xenon anesthesia for laparoscopic operations]. / Elektroéntsefalogramma, informatsionnaia nasyshchennost' élektroéntsefalogrammy i bispektral'nyi indeks pri anestezii ksenonom vo vremia laparoskopicheskikh operatsii.

The depth of xenon anesthesia was never evaluated by modern methods of EEG monitoring, and hence, we studied changes in EEG, INEEG, and BIS during different stages of xenon narcosis and evaluated the possibility of using these values as criteria of xenon anesthesia adequacy. The study was carried out in 60 patients during laparoscopic operations on abdominal organs. The patients were divided into 2 groups receiving different gas anesthetics (xenon or nitric oxide). The results indicate that xenon monoanesthesia caused dose-dependent changes in the native and treated EEG; xenon is a good inhalation anesthetic providing adequate anesthesia for little traumatic operations even in case of mononarcosis; INEEG and BIS monitoring during xenon anesthesia allows an objective evaluation of its depth.
