AbstractBurst-suppression is an electroencephalographic pattern that results from a diverse array of pathophysiological causes and/or metabolic neuronal suppression secondary to the administration of anesthetic medications. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the physiological mechanisms that underlie the burst-suppression pattern and to present in a comprehensive way the available evidence both supporting and in opposition to the clinical use of this electroencephalographic pattern as a therapeutic measure in various perioperative settings.Copyright © 2021 International Anesthesia Research Society.
