    Abstract Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to monitor the function of the central nervous system in a variety of surgical procedures. During cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, ischemic changes on the EEG as a result of impaired central nervous system blood supply can be noted. The EEG also may be used to monitor the functional state of the brain during and after profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. If a desired goal is to reduce cerebral metabolism using a barbiturate or other such agent, the EEG can be monitored to provide a measurable pharmacodynamic end point (burst suppression). Techniques have been developed to process the EEG signal using a computer and to improve on-line interpretation. These include fast Fourier transformation to develop a three-dimensional plot or compressed spectral array, evoked-potential monitoring, and bispectral analysis to derive a univariate descriptor of the EEG. These techniques have been used to detect awareness and indirect memory function, as well as to assess the adequacy of anesthesia. There is a good correlation between implicit memory and alterations in midlatency auditory-evoked responses. The bispectral index has been used to assess the adequacy of anesthesia as well as to detect awareness. Preliminary studies suggest that titrating the anesthetic to bispectral index levels may be useful during cardiac surgery.

    Abstract Awareness during surgery and memory for perioperative events may have substantial psychological consequences for the patient. The risk of awareness during trauma surgery is higher than during most elective procedures due to the fact that administration of adequate concentrations of anaesthetics is not always feasible. As a consequence, the risk of memory formation might be increased. The present review discusses different forms of memory, and the possibilities and limitations of awareness and memory prevention.

    Abstract Background: Memory function under anesthesia is undesired but may arise from light hypnosis as well as stress-enhanced learning during surgery. The bispectral index (BIS, Aspect Medical Systems, Norwood, MA) is a monitor of hypnotic state that can help to avoid light hypnosis (i.e., BIS above 60). This study tested the hypothesis that BIS-guided anesthesia maintaining BIS 50-60 reduces the likelihood of memory function under anesthesia.
    Methods: After obtaining informed consent, 128 patients scheduled for joint replacement surgery under general anesthesia with sevoflurane were randomly assigned to BIS-guided anesthesia, titrating drugs to BIS 50-60 (BIS group), or a standard practice group in which BIS was recorded but did not guide drug administration. After induction, all patients were repeatedly played a list of 15 words. After recovery from anesthesia, all were interviewed about recall and completed a recognition memory test containing the presented words (targets, 33.3%) and new words (distractors). Preoperatively, patients filled out a stress questionnaire (Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory).
    Results: BIS values above 60 were recorded in both groups, but no patient recalled the presented words postoperatively. Only patients in the BIS group selected targets more often than distractors (37.1% vs. 31.5% hit rate, P = 0.001). Target hit rates correlated poorly to stress scores (P > 0.9), but were associated with the amount of fentanyl received preoperatively (P = 0.01) and pain management technique (P < 0.01).
    Conclusions: BIS titration to BIS 50-60 does not necessarily curb memory function under anesthesia when BIS values higher than 60 occur. Preoperative analgesia attenuated the likelihood of memory function under anesthesia.

    Abstract The state of anaesthesia is one of unconsciousness, lack of awareness, amnesia and reflex suppression to noxious stimuli. The depth of anaesthesia is generally considered adequate if the patient neither moves in response to surgical stimulus nor shows any signs of autonomic reflexes. Anaesthesia is generally considered inadequate if the patient has recall after surgery!

    Abstract Median nerve somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were monitored in ten patients undergoing cardiac surgery with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Anesthesia was induced and maintained with sufentanil, oxygen, and pancuronium. Esophageal, nasopharyngeal, rectal, and blood temperatures were continuously monitored. SEPs were recorded before induction of anesthesia, after induction, and during cooling and rewarming on CPB. There was a strong negative correlation between SEP latencies and temperature (except rectal) (r = -.91, P < .001). for cortical latency and esophageal temperature. A decrease in esophageal temperature of 1 degrees C resulted in an increase in SEP latency of 1 ms. There was also a weak positive correlation between evoked potential amplitude and temperature (r = .19) for cortical amplitude and esophageal temperature.
