Abstract

We recorded visual evoked potentials (VEPs) to flash stimuli in moderately deep anaesthesia when EEG showed burst suppression pattern. Flash VEPs could consistently be recorded in all 8 test subjects during bursts but not during suppressions. We conclude that during isoflurane-induced EEG suppression VEPs to flash stimuli are also suppressed. This effect should be taken into account in evoked potential testing during anaesthesia.
