Processed electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, including bispectral index (BIS) monitoring, aids in patient assessment and anesthetic dosing. This technology can reduce anesthetic use, speed recovery, and improve perioperative safety, particularly in preventing intraoperative awareness.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Clinical outcomes research for processed electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring initiated with early bispectral index (BIS) monitoring trials.
  • The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) utilized initial randomized trials for BIS monitor clearance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate clinical outcomes associated with processed EEG monitoring.
  • To assess the impact of processed EEG monitoring on perioperative safety and postoperative outcomes.
  • To investigate the role of processed EEG monitoring in preventing intraoperative awareness.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized trials evaluating bispectral index (BIS) monitoring.
  • Clinical investigations assessing processed EEG monitors as an aid to anesthetic dosing.
  • Analysis of patient assessment data using processed EEG.

Main Results:

  • Processed EEG monitoring, including BIS, can decrease anesthetic usage.
  • Processed EEG monitoring has been shown to hasten patient recovery times.
  • Research suggests a presumed association between anesthetic effect and EEG changes, guiding further investigation.

Conclusions:

  • Processed EEG monitoring is a valuable tool for patient assessment and anesthetic management.
  • Utilizing processed EEG monitors can lead to improved postoperative outcomes and perioperative safety.
  • Further research supports the use of processed EEG monitoring for preventing intraoperative awareness.
