Personalize Anesthesia Not too deep. Not too light. Just Right. Bispectral Index™ (BIS™) Brain Function Monitorin

Helping you optimize anesthesia delivery for each patient Reducing risks for your patients. We understand the challenges. Each patient is unique, they depend on you for the ideal level of anesthesia to protect them throughout procedures and expedite a smooth recovery. You depend on your training and experience to sense responsiveness and maintain optimal anesthesia levels. We remain committed to helping BIS™ brain monitoring collects EEG information obtained through a sensor placed on the patient’s forehead you precisely tailor each anesthetic dose as new information surfaces about...

Essential Data. Continuous Insight. BIS™ monitoring may help you confidently personalize anesthetic depth for each patient, eliminating uncertainty with reliable, datadriven insight. Throughout the procedure, BIS™ technology consistently collects and processes complex EEG input providing easy-to-interpret data that helps you monitor and titrate drug dosage to maintain the optimal balance for your patient. BIS™ Index Range and Clinical States The BIS™ system processes EEG information and calculates a number between 0 and 100. There is a direct correlation between this range and measurement...

Innovative Approach to Optimal Anesthesia Delivery The common use of short-acting anesthetic agents requires new approaches in monitoring patients to ensure good outcomes. Each patient has unique sensitivity to anesthesia. Patients with increased resistance may be at risk of unintended awareness during surgery.5 And peer-reviewed, published data associates the levels and type of anesthesia as risk factors for postoperative delirium.6,7 Patients with increased sensitivity run the risk of receiving excess dosage, leading to longer recovery and increased potential of postoperative nausea and...

Proven Benefits BIS™ brain monitoring is the most widely studied consciousness monitoring system available. Multiple clinical studies demonstrate benefits to adjusting anesthetic dosing and administration to maintain BIS™ monitoring values in the range of 40-60.1-3 Patient-specific Drug Titration Studies show that BIS™ monitoring: Allowed a 50% reduction in propofol administration during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass2 Significantly reduced end-tidal desflurane concentration compared with standard anesthesia monitoring practice4 Decreased titration of isoflurane and contributed to...

Proven Outcomes Improved Outcomes. Faster Recovery and Discharge. Personalize anesthetic administration: Improves patient outcomes and satisfaction May allow faster recovery and discharge by minimizing side effects and postoperative complications Studies show that patients whose anesthetic dosing was guided by BIS™ monitoring experienced: Faster extubation1,4 Faster emergence1 Better orientation at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)1 Faster discharge1,4 Lowered Incidence of Awareness With TIVA procedures, the incidence of awareness can be 5 to 10 times greater than with inhaled...

BIS™ Monitoring Reliable, Proven Success Anesthesia-related complications and side effects can be costly, requiring longer lengths of stay for patients and longer times in the operating and recovery rooms. Effective use of BIS™ brain monitoring, with both intravenous and volatile anesthetics, may result in cost efficiencies and reduced labor burden20 realized from: BIS™ monitoring may contribute to the overall success of the surgical procedure, providing: Improved patient satisfaction through better anesthesia outcomes Enhanced operational efficiencies by moving patients through to...
