Event Description
|
According to the reporter, the consultant used a neuro-muscular stimulator on the side of the temple in conjunction with the device.When activated, it's not uncommon for bis to register the electromagnetic interference in the raw eeg (and occasionally see an elevated bis number).However, in this instance, although the eeg displayed interference and the bis index number rose when the stimulator was used, the elevated number and interference in the eeg remained for a period of time after activation of the neuro stimulator.The consultant was concerned that the neuro-stimulator - a new device for them, was discharging residual current to cause this phenomenon with bis.The product will be reported separately.The other concern is that the anesthetist, believing the patient could potentially be light and at risk of intra-operative awareness, deepened the anesthesia meaning the patient took longer to wake up and recover.There were no injuries, side effects or complications from the case other than those stated here.
