Abstract:Objective Seizure-like activity refers to the abnormal spike of neurons in the brain induced by various reasons,resulting in paroxysmal involuntary tremors,convulsions,or even general rigidity of one or more muscle groups local-ly or throughout the body,with or without EEG abnormalities.Convulsion may appear in the patients during general anesthesia or intraspinal anesthesia,suggesting that anesthetics can induce seizure-like activities,and the mechanism may be different.This article summarizes the current research progress and possible mechanism of perioperative anesthetics-induced epileptiform activity.
