Use of BIS monitor during anaesthesia of a narcoleptic patient for avoiding possible delayed emergence

Acta Anaesthesiol Belg. 2007;58(1):59-61.

Abstract

Anaesthesia for a narcoleptic patient is not a common practice of anaesthesioligists' daily working life. Therefore special problems related to narcolepsy should be considered pre-, peroperatively and during emergence. The aim of presenting this case report is to emphasize the importance of BIS monitor use in a narcoleptic patient undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia to avoid possible prolonged emergence.
