	Bispectral Index - Definition, Purpose, Description, Results, Alternatives
		The bispectral index (BIS) is one of several systems used in anesthesiology as of 2003 to measure the effects of specific anesthetic drugs on the brain and to track changes in the patient's level of sedation or hypnosis.
		In technical terms, the bispectral index itself is a complex mathematical algorithm that allows a computer inside an anesthesia monitor to analyze data from a patient's electroencephalogram (EEG) during surgery.
		Bispectral analysis is a method of analyzing the mathematical relationships among the various components of an EEG signal (phase couplings) as well as measuring amplitudes and frequencies.

	Bispectral index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bispectral index (BIS) monitors are modern neurophysiologic monitoring devices that continually analyse patients' electroencephalograms during general anaesthesia to assess the level of anaesthesia.
		BIS monitors may also reduce the incidence of intraoperative awareness in high risk procedures or patients(see discussion [1]) and may have an additional role predicting recovery from severe brain injury though this is far from clear at present.
		The bispectral index of an electroencephalogram is a weighted sum of electroencephalographic subparameters including a time domain, a frequency domain, and higher order spectral information (Bispectral Analysis).

	Does bispectral index monitoring optimize
		In the absence of central nervous system monitoring hypnotic agents are often administered on the basis of prescribed dosing regimens (12-10-8 mg/kg/h step-down propofol infusion scheme) that may be adjusted to the response of the individual patient.
		Bispectral index monitoring is useful for the intraoperative tracking of the level of unconsciousness especially during high hypnotic-low opioid anesthesia.

		Study objective The bispectral index monitor uses processed electroencephalogram signals to measure sedation depth on a unitless scale from 0 to 100 (0, coma; 40 to 60, general anesthesia; 60 to 90, sedated; 100, awake).
		We determine the ability of the bispectral index to monitor depth of nondissociative procedural sedation and analgesia in children.
		Bispectral index scores between 60 and 90 predicted with moderate accuracy traditional clinical levels of sedation typically encountered during procedural sedation and analgesia in the pediatric ED.

		Although BIS monitoring may reduce the incidence of intraoperative awareness generally for patients undergoing anesthesia, it has limited value for individual patients for the following reasons: - It is a relatively good indicator of the state of being alert, but its algorithm is inaccurate for predicting an unconscious state.
		In both of the large studies that demonstrated a lower incidence of intraoperative awareness (i.e., the Bi-Aware RCT and European prospective study), the anesthesia was deep during maintenance (a mean BIS score of 44.5 [SD, 6.8]in the Bi-Aware trial, and a mean BIS score of 38 [SD, 8]in the European study).
		Considering the low sensitivity of BIS monitoring to detect the state of being asleep, several patients would be at risk of receiving unnecessary hypnotic medications to save one from intraoperative awareness.

		In the first few cases we experienced problems with oscillation and found that control improved if a shorter bispectral smoothing interval was used.
		Later we also altered the control algorithm to take account of the burst suppression ratio, because in some cases there was a paradoxical increase in BIS during burst suppression.

	Mind Reader? - November, 2005
		The American Society of Anesthesiologists agreed, declining to make monitors the standard of care when it approved the group’s first standards on preventing intraoperative awareness at its annual meeting last month.
		Instead of putting its collective muscle behind the technology, the ASA’s house of delegates gave monitors a tepid endorsement, approving a practice advisory that leaves to individual practitioners the decision to use the technology.
		But for the manufacturer of the Bispectral Index monitor, for the loyal legion of clinicians who swear by the machine’s ability to precisely measure consciousness during surgery and let them deliver a better anesthetic, and for those patients who’ve experienced intraoperative awareness, the answer is yes.

		When VP of sales Alan Milinazzo was analyzing those reports earlier this summer, he noticed potential customers that evaluated the device for three months weren't buying the Bispectral Index Monitor, which costs more than $5,000, at higher rates than those purchasing the device without evaluating it.
