Everything you need to help tailor your anesthesia procedures for improved outcomes.
Overview
BIS™ monitoring provides an objective measure of the patient’s depth of consciousness, and combined with your experience, enables you to confidently monitor and tailor safe, optimal anesthesia for each patient.
Patient-Specific Drug Titration
Transforming Anesthesia Delivery — One Patient at a Time
Studies have shown reductions in the use of anesthetic drugs by as much as 50% in patients monitored with BIS™ technology:
- BIS™ monitoring enabled a 50% reduction in propofol administration during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass2
- End-tidal desflurane concentration was reduced by 25% compared with standard anesthesia-monitoring practice3
- Titration of isoflurane using the BIS™ index decreased use of isoflurane and contributed to faster emergence of elderly patients undergoing elective knee or hip replacement surgery4
- For asleep-awake craniotomy procedures, where titratable anesthesia is preferred to facilitate more predictable intraoperative wake-up, BIS™ monitoring can provide further information to guide drug administration and predict responsiveness.5
Improved Emergence, Recovery, and Discharge
Proven BIS™ Monitoring Outcomes
Optimal anesthetic administration improves patient outcomes and satisfaction, and may facilitate faster recovery and discharge by minimizing side effects and postoperative complications. Studies have shown that patients whose anesthetic dosing was guided by BIS™ monitoring required less anesthetic drug and experienced:
- Faster extubation.1,3
- Faster emergence.1
- Better orientation at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).1
- Faster discharge.1,3
Reduced Incidence of Awareness
BIS™ Monitoring — Reliable, Proven
Studies show an 80% reduction in awareness has been demonstrated when using BIS™ monitoring compared to routine care in both intravenous (TIVA, total intravenous anesthesia) and inhaled drug combinations in anesthesia patients.6,7,8
With TIVA procedures, the incidence of awareness can be 5-10 times greater than with inhaled anesthetics as a result of the short-acting nature of some intravenous anesthetics used, along with the challenges of monitoring the patient’s level of consciousness. This is all the more reason that BIS™ monitoring is important — it may help reduce the incidence of awareness during TIVA procedures and during inhaled anesthesia. Read more
