Overview

Gain Insight into Brain Response with BIS™ Technology([FOOTNOTE=Dershwitz M. Should we measure depth of anesthesia? Seminars in Anesthesia, Perioperative Medicine and Pain. 2001;20(4):246-256.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

Bispectral Index™ (BIS™) monitoring enhances the clinician’s patient-­targeted approach to induction, maintenance and emergence. Utilising state-of-the-art technology to process EEG information, BIS™ technology noninvasively measures and interprets brain wave activity directly related to the effects of anaesthetic agents.

Among other benefits, BIS™ technology:

  • Helps the clinician customise anaesthetic dosing to individual patient physiologies
  • Indicates hypnotic effect through the easy-­to-­read BIS™ index
  • Facilitates improved patient outcomes as validated in multiple clinical studies([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. BIS Utility Study Group. Anesthesiology. 1997;87(4):808-815.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]),([FOOTNOTE=Punjasawadwong Y, Boonjeungmonkol N, Phongchiewboon A.

PRODUCT TECHNOLOGY

BIS™ monitoring technology provides valuable information about the status of your patients to help address their unique anaesthetic requirements.

  • BIS™ technology offers clinicians added security for providing specialized care and comfort for patients, including those who may be more sensitive to the haemodynamic effects of anaesthesia.
  • BIS™ monitoring technology provides valuable information about patient status to help clinicians address each patient’s unique anaesthetic requirements. This may be particularly valuable for:
  • Patients with complex conditions whose status may suddenly or frequently change
  • Patients with cardiovascular conditions
  • Obese patients
  • Trauma patients or others requiring reduced levels of anaesthesia
  • BIS™ monitoring technology enable clinicians to manage anaesthetic goals of hypnosis, analgesia and immobility.
  • BIS™ monitoring technology enables clinicians to assess consciousness and sedation separately from cardiovascular reactivity.
  • BIS™ technology may help:
    • Reduce emergence and recovery time2
    • Reduce anaesthetic drug use2
    • Reduce the risk of awareness during surgery5,8

NICE GUIDELINES RECOMMEND BIS™ MONITORING

"BIS™ monitoring is recommended as an option for all patients receiving total intravenous anaesthetic (TIVA). BIS™ technology is also cost effective in this patient population due to the inability to measure end-tidal anaesthetic concentration."([FOOTNOTE=National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. Depth of anaesthesia monitors (E-Entropy, BIS™ and Narcotrend) (DG6). November 2012. Available at: http://guidance.nice.org.uk/DG6.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
