| pubmed-article:294799 | pubmed:abstractText | Of a total of 45 patients suffering from epilepsy, 29 received enflurane and 11 halothane anaesthesia, while 5 were given both agents successively during the same operative procedure. EEGs recorded during anaesthesia were compared with the corresponding preoperative records taken while awake and during sleep. It was demonstrated that neither enflurane nor halothane exacerbates a pre-existing susceptibility to seizure activity and that both these inhalation anaesthetics are suitable for cases suffering from cerebral convulsive disorders. | lld:pubmed |
