Comparative Study[Comparison of the bispectral index and spectral entropy in gynecological surgery].
Spectral entropy quantifies variations in cortical electrical activity measured by electroencephalography and frontal activity measured by electromyography. The aim of this study, in the context of general anesthesia, was to compare bispectral index values with the two components of spectral entropy: state entropy and response entropy. ⋯ The bispectral index, state entropy, and response entropy show good agreement during recordings that reflect the effects of anesthesia. The differences observed at baseline and upon awakening can be attributed to frontal electromyographic activity. Distinguishing cortical electrical activity from frontal electromyographic activity may provide additional information in these situations.
