suppression seen during anesthesia in older children, or if it is some other induced discontinuous EEG pattern. Lastly, there are two caveats that must be borne in mind when interpreting these studies. First, the CSI and BIS are different algorithms and studies using one may not always be comparable to the other, and secondly the population undergoing spinal anesthesia in our previous study included younger infants with some ex premature babies. The EEG in these infants is not always the same as older term babies, with more discontinuous EEG likely to occur during normal sleep wake patterns in the young ex premature baby. In conclusion, there is still much to be learnt about both the sedation induced by regional anesthesia in infants and the behavior of EEG-derived depth monitors in infants. I N G J E R D I .
