AUTHORS: Ostertag, Julian MSc; Zanner, Robert MD; Schneider, Gerhard MD; Kreuzer, Matthias PhD Anesthesia & Analgesia 140(1):p 136-144, January 2025. BACKGROUND: During the anesthetic-induced loss of responsiveness (LOR), a “paradoxical excitation” with activation of β-frequencies in the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be observed. Thus, spectral parameters—as widely used in commercial anesthesia monitoring devices—may mistakenly indicate that […]
