[ 1 ] - Impact of Bispectral Index Monitoring Versus Clinical Judgment as a Guide for Conduction of Anesthesia on Serum Cortisol Level in Co-ronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Background: Inadequate depth of anesthesia leads to release of stress hormones. Electroencephalographic monitoring by bispectral index is a guide to asses the depth of anesthesia. The aim of the present study was to measure the serum cortisol levels as an index of stress response in patients who are candidates for coronary artery bypass graft surgery in two groups of patients. Methods: Seventy-...
