Why the study?
Do depth of anesthesia monitors prevent intraoperative awareness in patients undergoing general anesthesia?
Do depth of anesthesia monitors prevent intraoperative awareness in patients undergoing general anesthesia?
Depth of anesthesia monitors like BIS do not show superiority over end-tidal anesthetic gas monitoring for preventing intraoperative awareness, and should be used in conjunction with careful clinical observation and gas monitoring.
BIS offers no superiority to end-tidal monitoring; leaves open whether superior EEG tools can reduce awareness beyond current standards.
