Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring anesthesia depth in children is challenging. Pediatric anesthesiologists estimate general anesthesia depth using indirect methods such as pharmacokinetic models and neurovegetative reflexes. The application of processed electroencephalography may help to identify the correct anesthesia depth (i.e., patient state index between 25 and 50). AIMS To determine the median values of patient state index and spectral edge frequency 95% in children undergoing general anesthesia conducted according to indirect evaluation of depth. The relationships between patient state index and spectral edge frequency 95% and indirect monitoring of anesthesia depth, type of anesthesia, age subgroups, and postoperative delirium were also assessed. METHODS A prospective observational study on children (aged 1-18 years) undergoing surgery longer than 60 min. The SedLine monitor and the novel SedLine pediatric sensors (Masimo Inc., Irvine California) were applied. Patient state index levels were recorded for the duration of the anesthesia until the discharge to the ward at predefined time points. RESULTS In the 111 enrolled children, median patient state index level at the end of anesthesia induction was 25 (22-32) and ranged from 26 (23-34) to 28 (25-36) in the maintenance phase. Patient state index at extubation was 48 (35-60) and 69 (62-75) at discharge from the operatory room. Median right/left spectral edge frequency 95% values at the end of induction were 10 (6-14)/9 (5-14) Hz and median right/left spectral edge frequency 95% values in the maintenance phase ranged from 10 (6-14) to 12 (11-15) Hz in both hemispheres. At extubation, right/left spectral edge frequency 95% levels were 18 (15-21)/17 (15-21) Hz. We observed 39 episodes of burst suppression in 20 patients (19%). Median patient state index levels were not different between patients undergoing inhalational and intravenous anesthesia and between those undergoing general anesthesia and general anesthesia added to locoregional anesthesia. Children <2 years displayed significantly higher patient state index levels than older patients (p = .0004). The presence of a burst suppression episode was not associated with PAED levels (OR 1.58, 95% CI 0.14-16.74, p` = .18). CONCLUSIONS NonpEEG-guided anesthesia in children led to median patient state index levels at the low range of recommended unconsciousness values with frequent episodes of burst suppression. Patient state index levels were generally higher in children below 2 years.

Abstract
The major therapeutic end points of general anesthesia include hypnosis, amnesia, and immobility. There is a complex relationship between general anesthesia, responsiveness, hemodynamic stability, and reaction to noxious stimuli. This complexity is compounded in pediatric anesthesia, where clinicians manage children from a wide range of ages, developmental stages, and body sizes, with their concomitant differences in physiology and pharmacology. This renders anesthetic requirements difficult to predict based solely on a child's age, body weight, and vital signs. Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring provides a window into children's brain states and may be useful in guiding clinical anesthesia management. However, many clinicians are unfamiliar with EEG monitoring in children. Young children's EEGs differ substantially from those of older children and adults, and there is a lack of evidence-based guidance on how and when to use the EEG for anesthesia care in children. This narrative review begins by summarizing what is known about EEG monitoring in pediatric anesthesia care. A key knowledge gap in the literature relates to a lack of practical information illustrating the utility of the EEG in clinical management. To address this gap, this narrative review illustrates how the EEG spectrogram can be used to visualize, in real time, brain responses to anesthetic drugs in relation to hemodynamic stability, surgical stimulation, and other interventions such as cardiopulmonary bypass. This review discusses anesthetic management principles in a variety of clinical scenarios, including infants, children with altered conscious levels, children with atypical neurodevelopment, children with hemodynamic instability, children undergoing total intravenous anesthesia, and those undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Each scenario is accompanied by practical illustrations of how the EEG can be visualized to help titrate anesthetic dosage to avoid undersedation or oversedation when patients experience hypotension or other physiological challenges, when surgical stimulation increases, and when a child's anesthetic requirements are otherwise less predictable. Overall, this review illustrates how well-established clinical management principles in children can be significantly complemented by the addition of EEG monitoring, thus enabling personalized anesthesia care to enhance patient safety and experience.

Abstract
Cortical electroencephalography-based devices are used to monitor the depth of anesthesia. In this study, we evaluated the values of bispectral index (BIS) and patient state index (PSI) during sevoflurane anesthesia in children. The ability/accuracy of BIS and PSI to predict the maintenance and recovery state of anesthesia was evaluated based on prediction probability (Pk) values and the secondary outcomes were agreement and correlation of 2 monitors. Fifty children (3-12 years old) were enrolled and the patients received sevoflurane anesthesia with remifentanil followed by propofol administration. Before the induction of anesthesia, BIS and PSI sensors were simultaneously placed on the forehead, and data were collected until the end of anesthesia. Maintenance state was defined as the period following intubation until the cessation of sevoflurane, while recovery state was defined as the period following the cessation of sevoflurane until awake. Pk, agreement or correlation of BIS and PSI in different anesthesia state were calculated. Anesthesia reduced mean BIS and PSI values. Pk of BIS (95% confidential interval [CI]: 0.78-0.91) and PSI (95% CI: 0.82-0.91) for anesthesia were 0.85 and 0.87, respectively. Agreement was 0.79 for recovery state and 0.73 for maintenance state. Pk values were comparable for BIS and PSI. Agreement between BIS and PSI measurements in the same state was relatively good. Therefore, these monitors are appropriate for monitoring for different state of anesthesia in pediatric population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because the unanticipated arousal or hemodynamic instability during anesthesia may adversely affect the physical and emotional welfare of children, adequate management of the anesthesia depth is required. We aimed to compare Bispectral Index (BIS) and Patient State Index (PSI) in children during sevoflurane anesthesia and evaluate PSI as depth of anesthesia monitor in children aged 6 months-12 years. METHODS In this prospective observational study, children aged 6 months-12 years old scheduled for elective surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia were enrolled from November 2018 to June 2019. We monitored BIS and PSI at different sevoflurane concentrations. The primary outcome was the correlation between BIS and PSI. The correlation between BIS and PSI at different sevoflurane concentrations (at 1, 1.5, and 2 MACs) and at different age groups (6 months-2 years, 2-7 years, and 8-12 years) was also investigated. RESULTS Bispectral index and PSI showed a fair correlation (r = .430; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.297-0.546; p < .001). Two values were fairly correlated at 1, 1.5, and 2 MAC (r = .544; 95% CI, 0.314-0.716; p < .001, r = .509; 95% CI, 0.283-0.699; p < .001, and r = .315; 95% CI, 0.047-0.522; p = 0.007). BIS and PSI values showed a fair correlation in 6 months - 2 year and 8-12 year groups (r = .696; 95% CI, 0.519-0.813; p < .001 and r = .297; 95% CI, -0.017 to 0.543; p < .021), but there was not significant correlation in 2-7 years group (r = .190; 95% CI, -0.015 to 0.374; p = .052). CONCLUSIONS There was a fair correlation between BIS and PSI in children under sevoflurane anesthesia. The use of BIS and PSI as an indicator for anesthesia depth by sevoflurane is not reliable in pediatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) profiles under general anesthesia may depend on age and type of anesthetic. AIM This study investigated age-related differences in EEG waveforms between three inhalational anesthetics used at the same minimum alveolar concentration (MAC), which indicates the level of analgesia. METHODS Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II were divided into three groups according to age: pediatric (≦ 15 years); adult (16-64 years); and elderly (≧ 65 years). Each group was divided into three subgroups according to the inhalational anesthetic used: sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane. Anesthesia was maintained at 1 MAC, followed by assessment of 95% spectral edge frequency (SEF95) values and amplitude of EEG waveform. RESULTS The 3 age groups comprised a total of 180 patients. The mean (± SD) EEG waveform amplitude and SEF95 values for sevoflurane in the pediatric, adult, and elderly age groups, respectively, were: 32.9 ± 2.9 µV and 16.7 ± 2.4 Hz; 16.4 ± 3.6 µV and 12.2 ± 1.3 Hz; and 11.0 ± 2.1 µV and 13.6 ± 1.6 Hz. EEG waveform amplitude and SEF95 values were significantly higher in the pediatric group than in the other groups. SEF95 value was higher in the elderly group than in the adult group. Similar results were obtained for isoflurane and desflurane. CONCLUSION The amplitude of the EEG waveform and SEF95 values varied with age, even at the same analgesic state in patients under general anesthesia. This age-dependent change in EEG waveform was observed for all three inhalational anesthetics, and should be considered in procedures requiring general anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefit of using neuromuscular-blocking agents to facilitate tracheal intubation in pediatric patients remains unclear due to variations in design, treatments, and results among trials. By combining the available evidence, we aimed to establish whether scientific findings are consistent and can be generalized across various populations, settings, and treatments. METHODS A systematic search for randomized controlled trials, related to the use of neuromuscular-blocking agents for tracheal intubation in American Society of Anesthesiologists class I-II participants (0-12 years), was performed. We considered all randomized controlled trials that studied whether intubation conditions and hemodynamics obtained by using neuromuscular-blocking agents were equivalent to those that were achieved without neuromuscular-blocking agents. We combined the outcomes in Review Manager 5.3 (RevMan, The Cochrane Collaboration) by pairwise random-effects meta-analysis using a risk ratio (RR) for intubation conditions and mean difference for hemodynamic values (mean [95% Confidence Intervals]). Heterogeneity among trials was explored using sensitivity analyses. RESULTS We identified 22 eligible randomized controlled trials with 1651 participants. Overall, the use of a neuromuscular-blocking agent was associated with a clinically important increase in the likelihood of both excellent (RR = 1.41 [1.19-1.68], I2 = 76%) and acceptable (RR = 1.13 [1.07-1.19], I2 = 68%) intubating conditions. There is strong evidence that both unacceptable intubation conditions (RR = 0.35 [0.22-0.46], I2 = 23%) and failed first intubation attempts (RR = 0.25 [0.14-0.42], I2 = 0%) were less likely to occur when a neuromuscular-blocking agent was used compared with when it was not. Higher systolic or mean arterial pressures (mean difference = 13.3 [9.1-17.5] mm Hg, I2 = 69%) and heart rates (mean difference = 15.9 [11.0-20.8] beats/min, I2 = 75%) as well as a lower incidence of arrhythmias were observed when tracheal intubation was facilitated by neuromuscular-blocking agents. CONCLUSION The use of a neuromuscular-blocking agent during light-to-moderate depth of anesthesia can improve the quality as well as the success rate of tracheal intubation and is associated with better hemodynamic stability during induction of anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have reported that BIS is unreliable in children because its algorithm provides misleading information about the actual depth of anesthesia. Raw EEG analysis provides direct neurophysiologic measurement of cerebral activity. The relationship between age and EEG has rarely been reported, thus the aim of the present study was to compare raw electroencephalography (EEG) among different age groups of surgical patients under general anesthesia with 1.0 MAC sevoflurane. MATERIAL AND METHODS We enrolled 135 patients aged 0-80 years old (ASA physical status I or II) undergoing surgery, who were divided into 6 groups: 1-12 months old (group 1), 1-3 years old (group 2), 3-6 years old (group 3), 6-18 years old (group 4), 18-65 years old (group 5), and 65-80 years old (group 6). Different raw EEG waves (alpha, delta, and theta) were compared for all subjects. RESULTS The BIS values in groups 1 to 6 were 52.2±12.7, 55.0±8.0, 44.5±7.3, 43.8±7.3, 44.2±6.2, and 49.1±6.2 respectively. Compared with groups 1 and 2 (52.2±12.7, 55.0±8.0), BIS values of groups 3, 4, and 5 (44.5±7.3, 43.8±7.3, 44.2±6.2, respectively) were lower (P<0.05). Theta frequency was observed in the 6 groups. The EEG frequencies in groups 1 to 6 were 6.0 (5.5-6.0), 6.0 (5.5-6.0), 6.0 (5.5-6.0), 6.0 (6.0-7.0), 6.3 (6.0-7.0), and 6.0 (5.1-6.0), respectively. Compared with group 6, EEG frequencies in groups 4 and 5 were higher (P<0.05). BIS value was significantly correlated with EEG frequency (R²=0.063, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Analyzing raw EEG waves provides more accurate judgement of depth of anesthesia, especially in pediatric cases in which monitors often provide misleading values.

Abstract
Background and objectives Developing brain is more vulnerable to environmental risk than is the developed brain. We evaluated the effects of repeated exposure to different concentrations of sevoflurane on the neonatal mouse hippocampus using stereological methods. Methods Eighteen neonatal male mice were randomly divided into three groups. Group A, inhaled sevoflurane at a concentration of 1.5%; Group B, inhaled sevoflurane at a concentration of 3%; and Group C (control group), inhaled only 100% oxygen. Treatments were applied for 30 min a day for 7 consecutive days. The hippocampal volume, dendrite length, number of neurons, and number of glial cells were evaluated in each group using stereological estimations. Results We identified a ∼2% reduction in the volume of the hippocampus in Group A compared to Group C. Mean hippocampal volume was ∼11% smaller in Group B than it was in Group C. However, these differences in hippocampal volume between the groups were not statistically significant (p > 0.05 for all). As for the number of neurons, we found significantly fewer neurons in Group A (∼29% less) and Group B (∼43% less) than we did in Group C (p < 0.05 for both). The dendrite length was ∼8% shorter in Group A and ∼11% shorter in Group B than it was in Group C. Conclusions Repeated exposure to sevoflurane, regardless of the concentration, reduced the volume of the neonatal mouse hippocampus, as well as the number of neurons and dendrite length.

The dendrite length was ∼8% shorter in Group A and ∼11% shorter in Group B than it was in Group C. CONCLUSIONS Repeated exposure to sevoflurane, regardless of the concentration, reduced the volume of the neonatal mouse hippocampus, as well as the number of neurons and dendrite length.

Abstract
Context: Neuraxial techniques have sedative properties secondary to decreased inputs from sensory and motor afferents. We hypothesized that caudal analgesia decreases the requirement of desflurane as measured by bispectral index (BIS). Aims: This study aims to determine the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of desflurane for maintaining BIS below 50 (MACBIS50) in children undergoing infraumbilical surgeries with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and study the effect of caudal analgesia on the same. Settings and Design: This is prospective and observational study. Subjects and Methods: Thirty-nine American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Classes I and II children in between 1 and 8 years of age undergoing elective infraumbilical surgery under general anesthesia were allocated randomly into two groups (Group C and Group D) after induction with sevoflurane and LMA insertion. In Group C, caudal block was performed with 0.75 mL/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine and BIS values were recorded after 10 min for 1 min at 10 s intervals. In Group D, BIS was recorded for desflurane for 1 min at 10 s intervals followed by a caudal block with the same dose. Statistical Analysis Used: Dixon up-down method with a step size of 0.5%, and probit analysis were used for analysis. Results: A total of 39 patients were enrolled. MAC of desflurane for maintaining MACBIS50 was 5.57 (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.22–5.95) in Group D and 4.31 (95% CI 3.12–5.08) in Group C. The use of caudal anesthesia lowered the MAC of desflurane for maintaining MACBIS50 in children by 22.36% (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The use of caudal analgesia significantly reduced MAC of desflurane for maintaining MACBIS50 in children undergoing infraumbilical surgeries using LMA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid analgesics decrease the minimum alveolar concentration of inhalation agents during the acute phase response. However, the effect of chronic opioid exposure on minimum alveolar concentration of inhalation agents remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the concentration of sevoflurane necessary to maintain a bispectral index (BIS) <50 (SEVOBIS50) in patients with chronic opioid use compared with those naïve to opioid use. METHODS We included chronic opioid users who received a stable dose of oral morphine of at least 60 mg/d according to the morphine equivalent daily dose for at least 4 weeks and opioid-naïve patients. General anesthesia that included thiopental, vecuronium, and sevoflurane in oxygen was administered to all patients. Anesthesia was maintained using predetermined end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations. Fifteen minutes after achieving the determined end-tidal sevoflurane concentration through closed circuit anesthesia, BIS was measured for 1 minute in both groups. SEVOBIS50 was determined using Dixon's up-down method and probit analysis. RESULTS Nineteen and 18 patients from the chronic opioid and control groups, respectively, were included in the final analysis. SEVOBIS50values for the chronic opioid and control patients were 0.84 (95% confidence interval, 0.58-1.11) and 1.18 (95% confidence interval, 0.96-1.40), respectively (P = .0346). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane necessary to maintain a BIS <50 is lower for chronic opioid users than for opioid-naïve patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The additional administration of remifentanil during inhalation induction with sevoflurane could provide better conditions for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion than sevoflurane alone. This study was designed to evaluate the 50 % effective bolus dose (ED50) and 95 % effective bolus dose (ED95) of remifentanil required for LMA insertion in children during inhalation induction with sevoflurane. METHODS Pediatric patients aged 3-12 years requiring general anesthesia were recruited. A predetermined dose of remifentanil was injected over 30 s after the induction of general anesthesia with sevoflurane. LMA insertion was attempted 60 s after remifentanil injection. The dose of remifentanil was determined using the Dixon's up-and-down method, starting from 0.5 μg/kg (step size of 0.05 μg/kg). RESULTS The study was conducted until seven cross-over points and 29 children were collected. The ED50 of remifentanil for successful LMA insertion during sevoflurane inhalation induction in children was 0.168 ± 0.035 μg/kg using Dixon's method. In addition, the ED50 and ED95 of remifentanil from the probit analysis were 0.176 μg/kg (95 % confidence limits, 0.102-0.216 μg/kg) and 0.268 μg/kg (95 % confidence limits, 0.223-0.659 μg/kg), respectively. CONCLUSION The ED50 and ED95 of remifentanil for successful LMA insertion in children were estimated to be 0.176 (0.168) and 0.268 μg/kg during inhalation induction with 2.1 % sevoflurane.
