Summary
Monitoring errors can occur during liposuction. This case highlights how bispectral index (BIS) values may be unreliable, emphasizing the need to review electroencephalogram (EEG) and density spectral array (DSA) data.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Surgical Monitoring
- Neurophysiology
Background:
- Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring is widely used to assess anesthetic depth.
- Interference with BIS monitoring can lead to inaccurate readings.
- Liposuction procedures may present unique challenges for electrophysiological monitoring.
