Intraoperative aberrant bispectral index values due to facial nerve monitoring.
Journal of Clinical Anesthesia 2017 Februrary
Bispectral index is an accepted depth of anaesthesia monitor for guiding intraoperative hypnotic agent administration. Frontalis EMG displayed on BIS monitor may increase due to twitching of frontalis muscle. EMG increases are also known to cause artefactual increases in BIS values. We report a case of artefactual increase of EMG and subsequently BIS values, due to electrical artefact from cranial nerve stimulator being used to identify the facial nerve. An explanation of the effect of stimulator signal on BIS EMG and BIS values has been provided.
