Abstract
The BIS value may decrease by cerebral hypoperfusion. We report a case in which the BIS value suddenly decreased during cervical spine surgery, which led us to find cervical screws compressing the vertebral arteries. In a 79-year-old man undergoing cervical spine surgery, the BIS suddenly decreased from about 40 to 10-20, about 4 h after the start of surgery. Intraoperative 3-dementional computed tomography indicated that both the two tips of cervical screws inserted in the 6th cervical vertebra were within bilateral transverse foramens. These cervical screws were removed, and the BIS increased immediately. The cervical screws were re-inserted again thorough the same vertebra into the bilateral transverse foramens, and the BIS decreased immediately. Postoperatively, cerebral hypoperfusion due to compression of bilateral vertebral arteries by two cervical screws was identified. The BIS may be a useful to detect cerebral hypoperfusion due to compression of the vertebral artery by a cervical screw.

Abstract
Few data about the electroencephalogram and its calculated indices, such as the bispectral index (BIS), have been reported in rabbits. We aimed to evaluate whether a clinically stable anesthesia was mirrored by consistent and stable BIS values and to investigate the effects of modified cerebral blood supply, due to bilateral carotid clamping and re-opening, on BIS values. We also investigated the effects of fentanyl, as an antinociceptive drug, on the BIS. Sixty-eight rabbits undergoing general anesthesia for surgical creation of carotid bifurcation aneurysms were enrolled. The BIS values were recorded at nine selected time points (TPs) during each procedure and before and after fentanyl administration. The BIS values over time were compared with two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance followed by Tukey test, while the Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed to compare values at clamping and re-opening of the carotids as well as before and after fentanyl administration. The BIS values were significantly lower during anesthesia than at the end of anesthesia and at tracheal extubation; no significant differences were found among other TPs. Adequate depth of anesthesia was mirrored by consistent BIS values among rabbits, and alteration of cerebral blood supply did not modify BIS values, except once. Following fentanyl, BIS values did not change in a clinically relevant way.

Abstract
Neurocognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery can present with diverse clinical phenotypes, which include postoperative delirium, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and stroke, and it presents a significant healthcare burden for both patients and providers. Neurologic monitoring during cardiac surgery includes several modalities assessing cerebral perfusion and oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy, transcranial Doppler and jugular venous bulb saturation monitoring) and those that measure cerebral function (processed and unprocessed electroencephalogram), reflecting an absence of a single, definitive neuromonitor. This narrative review briefly describes the technologic basis of these neuromonitoring modalities, before exploring their use in clinical practice, both as tools to predict neurocognitive dysfunction, and with a bundle of interventions designed to optimize cerebral oxygen supply, with the aim of reducing postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction following cardiac surgery.

Abstract
In this narrative review, different aspects of electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring during anesthesia are approached, with a special focus on cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, from the basic principles to more sophisticated diagnosis and monitoring utilities. The available processed EEG-derived indexes of the depth of the hypnotic component of anesthesia have well-defined limitations and usefulness. They prevent intraoperative awareness with recall in specific patient populations and under a specific anesthetic regimen. They prevent intraoperative overdose, and they shorten recovery times. They also help to avoid lengthy intraoperative periods of suppression activity, which are known to be deleterious in terms of outcome. Other than those available indexes, the huge amount of information contained in the EEG currently is being used only partially. Several other areas of interest regarding EEG during anesthesia have emerged in terms of anesthesia mechanisms elucidation, nociception monitoring, and diagnosis or prevention of brain insults.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is one of the most severe and feared complications of cardiac surgery. Based on the timing of onset and detection, perioperative stroke can be classified as intraoperative or postoperative. The pathogenesis of perioperative stroke is multifactorial, which makes prediction and prevention challenging. However, information on its incidence, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment can be helpful in minimizing the perioperative neurological risk for individual patients. We herein provide suggestions on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative strategies aimed at reducing the risk of perioperative stroke and at improving the outcomes of patients who experience a perioperative stroke.

Abstract
The bilateral use of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in a 68-year-old male who underwent right carotid endarterectomy (CEA) under general anesthesia (GA) is described. During three episodes of right internal carotid artery cross-clamping intraoperatively, the right BIS value rose relative to the left within 1 min of clamping, followed by a return to baseline within 1-2 min of clamp release. Since unilateral BIS values can decrease or increase in response to cross-clamping, a significant difference in left and right BIS values may provide a simple and easily available method to detect cerebral hypoperfusion during CEA under GA.

Abstract
Current therapy for carotid stenosis mainly includes carotid endarterectomy and endovascular stenting, which may incur procedure-related cerebral ischemia. Several methods have been employed for monitoring cerebral ischemia during surgery, such as awake neurocognitive assessment, electroencephalography, evoked potentials, transcranial Doppler, carotid stump pressure, and near infrared spectroscopy. However, there is no consensus on the gold standard or the method that is superior to others at present. Keeping patient awake for real time neurocognitive assessment is effective and essential; however, not every surgeon adopts it. In patients under general anesthesia, cerebral ischemia monitoring has to rely on non-awake technologies. The advantageous and disadvantageous properties of each monitoring method are reviewed.

Abstract
Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and the bispectral index (BIS) are used to detect cerebral perfusion abnormalities. However, whether rSO2 and BIS values change during ligation of the internal jugular vein (IJV) is unknown. We report a case in which BIS values were decreased, despite increased rSO2 during ligation of the IJV. A 72-year-old man was diagnosed with metastasis of renal cancer to the thyroid associated with tumor embolism in the right IJV. Thyroidectomy with total laryngectomy was performed. After right IJV ligation, right rSO2 was increased from 73 to 78 %, while the right BIS value was decreased from 40 to 27. Contralateral rSO2 and BIS values were unchanged. Right rSO2 and BIS values returned to pre-ligation values in 10 min. Ligation of the IJV might increase cerebral blood flow and ipsilateral rSO2. Physicians should use BIS values with caution during IJV ligation because a sudden decrease in the BIS value is not always associated with cerebral hypoperfusion.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery presents particular challenges for the anesthesiologist. In addition to standard and advanced monitors typically used during cardiac surgery, anesthesiologists may consider monitoring the brain with raw or processed electroencephalography (EEG). There is strong evidence that a protocol incorporating the processed EEG bispectral index (BIS) decreases the incidence intraoperative awareness in comparison with standard practice. However, there is conflicting evidence that incorporating the BIS into cardiac anesthesia practice improves "fast-tracking," decreases anesthetic drug use, or detects cerebral ischemia. Recent research, including many cardiac surgical patients, shows that a protocol based on BIS monitoring is not superior to a protocol based on end-tidal anesthetic concentration monitoring in preventing awareness. There has been a resurgence of interest in the anesthesia literature in limited montage EEG monitoring, including nonproprietary processed indices. This has been accompanied by research showing that with structured training, anesthesiologists can glean useful information from the raw EEG trace. In this review, we discuss both the hypothesized benefits and limitations of BIS and frontal channel EEG monitoring in the cardiac surgical population.

Abstract
Bispectral index monitoring (BIS) measures depth of anesthesia and sedation. The case of a neonatal patient who underwent surgical repair for a double aortic arch is presented. During surgery, BIS decreased to 0, and cerebral blood flow (CBF), as measured by transcranial doppler ultrasonography, could not be detected immediately after clamping of the arch. BIS returned to baseline, and CBF was detected only after the aortic arch was unclamped. The arch was then carefully reclamped during close BIS and CBF monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy for extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis are at risk of cerebral ischemia/hypoperfusion. Criterion recommended by European and American committees to determine whether to place a shunt consisted of a decline in transcranial Doppler ultrasonography-measured middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (MCBFV) to < 30% to 40% of intraoperative preclamp value. OBJECTIVE To assess the discriminative power of the bispectral index (BIS)-Vista monitor for detecting a 40% decline in MCBFV with cross-clamping. METHODS In 20 patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy under remifentanil/propofol anesthesia, BIS-Vista data, MCBFV, and pulsatility index from bilaterally mounted BIS-Vista and transcranial Doppler monitors were continuously recorded. RESULTS Coefficient of determination revealed good correlation (r = 0.763) between ipsilateral BIS-Vista and MCBFV after cross-clamping. BIS-Vista exhibited a high discriminative power of 0.850 (95% confidence interval, 0.455-0.966) area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve in detecting an ipsilateral 40% MCBFV decline. Two-way analysis of variance (location by time) suggests that BIS-Vista exhibited a global decline; ie, both BIS-Vistas declined when 1 carotid on either side was clamped because there was no significant interhemispheric difference (P = .112) in mean BIS-Vista values over time. CONCLUSION Although we demonstrated good correlation and high discriminative power of the BIS-Vista monitor in depicting a MCBFV decline that could serve as indicator of decline in cerebral activity, BIS-Vista cannot be considered a reliable indicator of cerebral ischemia/hypoperfusion that could replace transcranial Doppler monitoring to determine whether a shunt is to be placed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The bispectral index (BIS) is derived from the EEG and therefore may be useful to diagnose intraoperative cerebral ischaemia. This study was undertaken to investigate BIS changes in awake patients with and without neurological deficits during carotid endarterectomy under regional anaesthesia. METHODS Seventy consecutive carotid endarterectomies under regional anaesthesia were divided into two surgical groups: patients with and patients without neurological deficits. Patients' neurological status was evaluated and neurological deficits were compared with BIS values. Measurements were made at different surgical stages: baseline, after sedation, at the beginning of surgery, at preclamping, at the 3 min clamping test, during shunt insertion, at declamping, 15 min after declamping and at the end of surgery. We performed intergroup and intragroup comparisons of BIS values. A decrease in BIS of at least 10 associated with neurological deficits was taken as the cut-off point for the classification of patients with logistic regression models (crude and adjusted for potential confounders). RESULTS Thirteen patients (18.6% of the total) developed clinical cerebral ischaemia, though BIS values decreased in 10 of these patients (76.9%). The mean BIS values were 92.5+/-5.6 and 84.7+/-12.3 for patients without and with neurological deficits, respectively (P value<0.05). The odds ratios of a BIS decrease associated with neurological deficits were 8.5 (95% confidence interval 2.1-35.1) and 5.4 (95% confidence interval 1.2-24.3) adjusted for contralateral stenosis. CONCLUSION Our results describe a relationship between BIS reductions and neurological deficits during carotid surgery in awake patients.

Abstract
The case of a 70 year-old man undergoing bilateral carotid endarterectomy (CEA), for whom alterations in his bispectral index (BIS) values were noted during general anesthesia, is presented. Prior to bypass of the internal carotid artery (ICA), there were no significant differences in bilateral BIS values. After bypass of the left ICA, the left BIS increased to approximately 60, while the right BIS remained at 40. Four months later, no such phenomenon was found during a right CEA. BIS is useful in detecting cerebral hypoperfusion during a lower limit of autoregulation. Attaching bilateral BIS monitors may indicate successful reperfusion of cerebral blood flow in CEA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative monitoring of cerebral ischemia with shunting during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) remains controversial. Our objective was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of BIS changes during carotid clamping in relation to shunted patients in awake CEA. METHODS Eighty CEAs under cervical block were included. There were two patient groups: with clinical signs of cerebral ischemia (shunted patients) and without signs of cerebral ischemia (nonshunted patients). Data were based on bispectral index (BIS) values and neurological monitoring at different surgery time points, with special attention paid during carotid clamping. BIS values were compared between shunted and nonshunted patients. Sensitivity and specificity, along with positive and negative predictive values of a percentage BIS value decrease during carotid clamping from baseline BIS values, were calculated in both patient groups. RESULTS Shunting was performed in 11 patients with cerebral ischemia at carotid clamping. Mean BIS values were 82.82+/-11.98 in shunted patients and 92.31+/-5.42 in nonshunted patients at carotid clamping (p<0.001). Relative decreased BIS values in relation to basal BIS values were 13.57% in shunted patients and 3.68% in nonshunted patients (p<0.05). The percentage decrease in BIS was 14%, sensitivity was 81.8% (95% CI 49.9-96.8), and specificity was 89.7% (95% CI 79.3-95.4). CONCLUSION BIS monitoring during carotid clamping is an easy, noninvasive method which correlates with cerebral ischemia in patients undergoing CEA. A decrease>or=14% from the basal BIS value presents a high negative predictive value, and ischemia is unlikely without a decrease. Nonetheless, a decrease may not always indicate cerebral ischemia with a low positive predictive value.
