Abstract

Recording of the magnetic fields of the brain, magnetoencephalography (MEG), has proved to be a valuable method in neurophysiological research. In order to study the feasibility of MEG recording during anaesthesia we recorded magnetoecephalographic burst suppression in a dog during enflurane and propofol anaesthesia. The observed signal distribution implies a complex current distribution underlying the burst activity. This experiment also proves that an essentially artefact-free MEG recording can be obtained during respirator-assisted anaesthesia.
