Abstract

Introduction: Patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery are particularly susceptible to intraoperative awareness, which makes it important to use monitors of the depth of anesthesia. Objective: To describe the performance of anesthetic depth during the pre-cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiovascular surgery with a monitor of consciousness (cerebral state monitor) model 0543. Methods: a prospective longitudinal descriptive study was conducted with 60 patients older than 20 years who underwent surgery at the Ernesto Che Guevara Cardiology Hospital during the period from October 2008 to May 2010. Results: the population aged 60-69 years was representative in the study and there was a predominance of males. The hemodynamic changes were in correspondence with changes in the monitor of consciousness state and significant differences were found between the moments studied, which reflected changes in hypnosis. Conclusions: The monitor of consciousness state is a valuable tool in monitoring the depth. During the study patients remained at the level of surgical anesthesia according the monitor.
