Can BIS monitoring be used to assess the depth of propofol anesthesia in the treatment of refractory status epilepticus?

abstract：:Astrocyte and microglial activation occurs following seizures and plays a role in epileptogenesis. However, the precise temporal and spatial response to seizures has not been fully examined. The pilocarpine model of temporal lobe epilepsy was selected to examine glial changes following seizures because morphological c...
