Intraoperative monitoring of the EEG in patients with arterial aneurysms of the cerebral vessels

: Visual EEG monitoring and EEG monitoring using a special "Neuro-2" monitor controlling the changes in quantitative EEG parameters (power range and coherence) have been used during surgery in 42 patients with arterial aneurysms of brain vessels performed in conditions of profound controlled arterial hypotension. Computer processing facilitates EEG analysis and reveals the most early signs of the developing cerebral ischemia on the basis of specific changes in power ranges and coherence.
