AbstractA 57-year-old female patient underwent combined off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and abdominal aortic aneurysm replacement. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol, fentanyl, and thoracic epidural anesthesia. Propofol doses were adjusted to maintain bispectral index (BIS) between 40-60. Despite the remarkable hemodynamic changes, BIS remained stable at about 50 during the surgery. The average dose of propofol was 3.3 mg.kg-1.hr-1. The patient awoke an hour after the surgery and was extubated 1.5 hours thereafter. This case report suggests that BIS is a useful index to determine the depth of anesthesia during surgeries which induce marked hemodynamic changes.
