Background. There are regional differences in the effects of anaesthetics agents and perioperative stimuli on the EEG. We studied the topography of the EEG during induction of anaesthesia and intubation in patients receiving thiopental and fentanyl to document regional electrical brain activity. Methods. EEG was recorded in 25 patients in the awake state, after pre-medication, during induction, at loss of consciousness and after intubation. Eight bipolar recordings were made and the relative power of the frequency bands delta, theta, alpha, and beta were used (after z-score transformation for age) to measure changes in regional EEG activity. Results. Noxious stimulation during tracheal intubation partially reversed the slowing of the EEG caused by anaesthesia. During induction of anaesthesia alpha activity was most reduced in temporal and occipital regions. The most prominent EEG changes after intubation were an increase in alpha and a decrease in delta power (P<0.001). The largest changes were in the frontal and temporal leads for alpha and in the frontal and central leads for delta. Heart rate and arterial pressure remained constant during intubation. Conclusions. Changes in alpha and delta power were identified as the most sensitive EEG measures of regional changes in electrical brain activity during anaesthesia and noxious stimulation.
