Incidence of epileptiform discharges in children during induction of anaesthesia using Propofol versus Sevoflurane

Since the implementation of electroencephalography (EEG) for anaesthetic procedures in children, epileptiform discharges have been frequently observed during general anaesthesia with Sevoflurane (Vakkuri et al., 2001; Schultz et al., 2012; Gibert et al., 2012; Kreuzer et al., 2014). Additionally, it has been shown that lower Sevoflurane concentrations and shorter administration time can reduce the incidence of epileptiform discharges (Kreuzer et al., 2014). Sevoflurane and Propofol are currently the most popular agents used for anaesthesia induction in children (Habre et al., 2017).
