Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we analyze the effect of anesthetic agents on electroencephalography in refractory epilepsy patients equipped with chronic intracranial electrode. Our aim of this study is to examine whether it is possible to identify the epileptogenic foci of the patient using this method. Finally, it is expected that refractory epilepsy patients undergoing focal lobectomy can skip intracranial electrode placement.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Diagnostic accuracy to detect epileptogenic foci using the changing rate of average values of Modulation index before and during anesthetic agents administration (propofol and sevoflurane), referred the foci that is clinically determined by the intracranial electrode as true.

Key secondary outcomes

-Diagnostic accuracy to detect epileptogenic foci using the changing rate of maximum values of Modulation index before and during anesthetic agents administration (propofol and sevoflurane) and the absolute values in average and maximum of Modulation index, referred the foci that is clinically determined by the intracranial electrode as true.
-To compare the cases meeting ILAE class 3 or lower during the first 6 months to one year after surgery and cases that does not meet this criteria.
-To examine the relationship between sensitivity and specificity and pathological findings based on individual data.
-To examine the relationship between the average and maximum change rate of Modulation index before and during anesthetic administration or the absolute value of Modulation index during anesthetic administration for each electrode and the ratio of KCC2 to NKCC1 in resected specimens.

Baseline Characteristics

1) Patients with refractory epilepsy who are scheduled for focal resection after placement of intracranial electrode

4) Patients in NCNP hospital

Participant flow

We studied patients with intractable epilepsy who underwent intracranial electrode placement followed by resection of epileptic focus from October 2018 to March 2020 and met the following inclusion and exclusion criteria. When the patients were scheduled for surgery, the attending neurosurgeons would contact us. After obtaining written informed consent from the study candidates, we confirmed that the patients met the inclusion criteria and did not meet any of the exclusion criteria. If the study subjects were under the age of 18 or determined to be incapable of obtaining consent, consent was obtained from those who could represent the will and interests of the study subject.
General anesthesia and intracranial EEG recording during general anesthesia
Patients took anticonvulsant as usual on the day of second surgery. No other premedication was used.
After admission to the operating room, we started to perform standard monitoring such as percutaneous oximeter saturation, non-invasive blood pressure measurement, and electrocardiogram on the patient. The intracranial EEG was recorded continuously after the patient entered the operating room.
In our institution, we usually use propofol followed by analgesia and muscle relaxation using remifentanil and rocuronium, and intubate tracheal tube after the start of sevoflurane during induction of anesthesia for epilepsy focus resection.
We performed induction of anesthesia as usual, judging the situation of each patient.
Then, the EEGs recorded before the induction of anesthesia when propofol was injected, and when the expiratory sevoflurane concentration reached 1.5-2.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) were taken as an analysis target.
