Influence of the anaesthetic depth on the inhibition of the oculocardiac reflex during sevoflurane anaesthesia for paediatric strabismus surgery

摘要

Background It remains controversial whether the anaesthetic depth as assessed by bispectral index (BIS) influences the oculocardiac reflex (OCR) during strabismus surgery. We investigated whether BIS-guided sevoflurane titration may help to optimize the anaesthetic depth for inhibition of the OCR during paediatric strabismus surgery.
