ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of inhalational anesthetics on brain cortices under inhalational and intravenous combined anesthesia. Methods 45 patients were randomly divided into isoflurane group (n=15), sevoflurane group (n=15) and desoflurane group (n=15). The narcosis was maintained with inhalational and intravenous combined anesthesia. The EEG non-linear parameters including approximate entropy (ApEn) and correlation dimension (D 2 ) were recorded during operation periods. BP, HR, and SpO 2 were monitored routinely. Results Comparing with that at entrance to the operating room, the EEG activities of frontal and temporal cortices after anesthesia were more suppressed than other cortices. Comparing with that at entrance to the operating room, ApEn and D 2 were significantly declined in the three experimental groups (P
