Closed-loop anesthesia control using the Bispectral Index (BIS) with isoflurane via a vaporizer offers superior safety and efficacy compared to manual control. This automated system significantly reduces inadequate sedation events during surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Devices
  • Control Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Automatic control of hypnosis depth using the Bispectral Index (BIS) can minimize inadequate anesthesia control.
  • Previous studies demonstrated automated BIS control with propofol or isoflurane infusion systems.
  • A comparable study using isoflurane via a vaporizer was lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of a novel closed-loop control system for Bispectral Index (BIS) using isoflurane administered via a vaporizer.
  • To compare the performance of this closed-loop system against manual BIS control in maintaining a target BIS range.
  • To test the hypothesis that the closed-loop system maintains BIS within a defined target range more effectively than manual control.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-three patients undergoing spinal surgery were randomized to either closed-loop or manual BIS control with isoflurane.
  • A target-controlled infusion of alfentanil was administered, and the BIS target was set to 50.
  • Key metrics included human intervention, inadequate sedation events (BIS <40 or >60), prolonged inadequate control (BIS ≥65 for >3 min), and performance indicators (mean absolute deviation, median absolute performance error).

Main Results:

  • No human intervention was required in the closed-loop control group.
  • The closed-loop system demonstrated significantly lower instances of inadequate BIS levels (0.5% vs. 10.3% of anesthesia time) and prolonged inadequate control (one event vs. nine events).
  • Performance parameters, including mean absolute deviation and median absolute performance error, were over 30% better with closed-loop control (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Closed-loop BIS control using isoflurane via a vaporizer is safe for clinical application.
  • The closed-loop system significantly outperforms manual control in maintaining BIS within the target range.
  • This automated approach is effective even during unpredictable stimulation changes during surgery.
