Bispectral Index™ (BIS™) Brain Function Monitoring

Personalize Anesthesia not too deep, not to light. Just Right

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 patient whose anesthetic dosing was
guided by BIS monitoring experienced:
– Faster extubation
– Faster emergence
– Better orientation at the Post Anesthesia Care Unit
(PACU)
– Faster discharge

Lowered Incidence of Awareness

With TIVA procedures, the incidence of awareness acan be 5 to 10 times greater than with inhaled anesthetics. All the more reason that BIS monitoring is important: It may help reduce the incidence of awareness during TIVA procedures and during inhaled anesthesia. Using BIS monitoring in TIVA, inhaled and balanced anesthesia leads to 80% less incidence of awareness compared to routine care.

Awareness Prevention Guarantee

If one of your patients experiences a case of anesthesia awareness while using BIS technology, and the electronic record shows the index value was below 60 at that time. Medtronic will reimburse the hospital for that case according to terms of the partnership agreement your hospital has with Medtronic.

Reducing the Risk of Postoperative Delirium

Postoperative delirium is common. Across all surgical procedures requiring anesthesia, 37-46% of patients are affected by postoperative delirium. Risk increases up to 87% depending on the age of patients and the type of surgery. Up to 21% of patients experience delirium after anesthesia and surgery. Monitoring the depth of anesthetic dosing with brain function monitoring may decrease the rate of postoperative delirium in certain patients.
