Overview

BIS™ monitoring to help improve anesthesia-related outcomes

With the BISx™ OEM module from Medtronic, BIS™ brain monitoring technology can be easily integrated into medical devices in a wide range of healthcare settings—from acute care monitors in operating rooms and intensive care units to preconfigured devices in ambulatory surgery centers or procedural sedation locations.

When you integrate the BISx™ OEM module into your anesthesia and sedation monitoring systems, you can offer your customers the industry’s most widely studied and published level of consciousness monitoring parameter. BIS™ technology can provide insight into the direct and patient-specific effects of anesthesia on the brain to enhance perioperative outcomes.

The BIS™ Algorithm

The scientifically validated BIS™ algorithm then filters, analyzes and correlates this data, quantifying only the changes in the bispectrum and other EEG features that apply to the individual’s current clinical state.

BIS™ brain monitoring technology advantages

Based on the scientifically validated BIS™ algorithm, BIS™ brain monitoring technology uses innovative technology to link patient-specific EEG information to the individual clinical state of each patient.

Clinical benefits of BIS™ brain monitoring technology

Anesthesia-related clinical benefits include:

  • Up to 23% decrease in anesthetic drug use([FOOTNOTE=Gan TJ, Glass PS, Windsor A, et al. Bispectral index monitoring allows faster emergence and improved recovery from propofol, alfentanil, and nitrous oxide anesthesia.

  • Up to 40% faster wake-up time1
  • Faster recovery and extubation times([FOOTNOTE=Punjasawadwong Y, Boonjeungmonkol N, Phongchiewboon A. Bispectral index for improving anaesthetic delivery and postoperative recovery.

  • 87% increase in “excellent/fully oriented” status on PACU admission1
  • 32% faster eligibility for PACU discharge([FOOTNOTE=White PF, Ma H, Tang J, et al. Does the use of electroencephalographic bispectral index or auditory evoked potential index monitoring facilitate recovery after desflurane anesthesia in the ambulatory setting?

  • 80% lower incidence of intraoperative([FOOTNOTE=Myles PS, Leslie K, McNeil J, et al.
