Abstract EN
We describe a 76-year-old patient who suffered a brainstem TIA just before being anesthetised for cardiac surgery.
The TIA was registered on BIS and resulted in a drop in BIS to a value of 60.
When consciousness returned spontaneously, the BIS increased to 85.
The relative use of the BIS during an operation is discussed.
We believe that the lack of input from the brainstem to the frontal cortex resulted in the reduced cortical electrical activity as registered with the BIS.
