EEG-Derived Indexes for the Depth of Anesthesia and Muscle Relaxants

Kameliya Tsvetanova, Hyuliya Feradova

Abstract: Recently, the depth of anesthesia has become an integral part of the multimodal anesthesia monitoring. The most popular parameters used are the EEG-based indexes - such as BIS, evoked potentials and entropy. Anesthetics have a variable influence on them. The aim of this review is to show the effect of the muscle relaxants on the EEG-derived indexes.

Keywords: depth of anesthesia, EEG-derived indexes, muscle relaxants
