N: number of total nonrecordable cases; NS: not significant; n1: is the number of leads that have been changed in the deep anesthesia and became (or were) recordable; n2: number of leads that have been changed in the light anesthesia and became (or were) recordable; value 2 is the value for the change in the recordability. Statistical test: Pearson’s χ2 test.
