Comparative Pharmacodynamics of Halogenated Anesthetics: Quantitative EEG Analysis to Objectify Central Nervous Effects

  • Conference paper
Inhalation Anesthetics

Abstract

During anesthesia the EEG is monitored for three purposes:

  1. 1.

    As an indicator for hazardous, e.g., hypoxic conditions of the brain [5, 9]

  2. 2.

    As a quantifiable pharmacodynamic effect of anesthetics with central action and to document their availability at the site of action (pharmaco EEG) [2]

  3. 3.

    As an indicator of an objectifiable depth of anesthesia expressable numerically [11]
