The bispectral index (BIS) is a processed electroencephalographic value (awake = 100, isoelectric = 0). The relationship of BIS and brain death (BD) is assessed.
BIS was evaluated in GCS 3 head-injured patients with BD (no brain function including apnea) or near BD (no apnea or negative ancillary test [cerebral perfusion and electroencephalogram]).
In 27 patients, there were 37 BD evaluations (apnea assessment or ancillary test). BD was confirmed in 62% (n = 23). However, 38% (n = 14) showed near BD. BD BIS is 3 + or - 5 and near BD BIS is 36 + or - 31 (P = .002). In the 23 BD patients, BIS was <20 for 7 hours + or - 6 hours before a BD evaluation was performed. Of 14 near BD evaluations, 9 (64%) had BIS > or = 20. BIS <20 for predicting BD had a sensitivity of 100% (23/23), a positive predictive value of 84% (23/28), and a negative predictive value of 100% (9/9).
Distinguishing brain death and near brain death in severely comatose trauma patients is complex. By indicating the likelihood of brain death, BIS is an adjunct for efficient evaluation.
双频谱指数(BIS)是一种经过处理的脑电图值(清醒=100,等电=0)。评估 BIS 与脑死亡(BD)的关系。
评估 GCS 3 颅脑损伤患者的 BIS,这些患者患有 BD(无脑功能,包括无呼吸暂停)或接近 BD(无呼吸暂停或阴性辅助检查[脑灌注和脑电图])。
在 27 例患者中,有 37 次 BD 评估(呼吸暂停评估或辅助检查)。BD 得到确认占 62%(n=23)。然而,38%(n=14)表现为接近 BD。BD 的 BIS 为 3+或-5,接近 BD 的 BIS 为 36+或-31(P=0.002)。在 23 例 BD 患者中,BD 评估前 7 小时+/-6 小时 BIS<20。在 14 次接近 BD 的评估中,9 次(64%)BIS≥20。BIS<20 预测 BD 的灵敏度为 100%(23/23),阳性预测值为 84%(23/28),阴性预测值为 100%(9/9)。
区分严重昏迷创伤患者的脑死亡和接近脑死亡很复杂。BIS 可以指示脑死亡的可能性,是有效评估的辅助手段。
