Our facility has the State of the Art Bispectral Index Monitor,
also called a BIS (pronounced “biz”) monitor. This device measures the effects of
anesthesia on a patient's level of consciousness by monitoring the patient’s brain
activity. It enables anesthesiologists to tailor a patient’s dose of anesthesia to
meet individual needs, which can vary based on factors such as age, weight, and
medical history. This can help patients wake up more quickly, feel more
clear-headed, and experience fewer side effects after surgery. With the BIS
monitor, a sensor strip is placed on the patient’s forehead during surgery. The
strip records brain activity and sends it to the monitor, which computes a number
ranging from zero to 100. This number correlates with the patient's level of
consciousness. At 100 the patient is wide awake; under 60, the patient is likely to
be unconscious. Prior to the development of the monitor, anesthesiologists relied
on vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure and the use of standard
dosages to ensure that the patient received adequate levels of anesthetic. Clinical
studies of the BIS monitor have shown that customizing anesthesia levels to a
patient’s needs can help them wake up faster and feel alert sooner, as well as
experience fewer side effects such as muscle aches, nausea and vomiting. At the
same time, the device also lowers the risk of “intraoperative awareness,” a rare
phenomenon in which the patient unintentionally regains consciousness during
surgery. Fine-tuning the amount of anesthetic assures that the patient remains in a
deep hypnotic state during an operation. The BIS monitor is manufactured by Aspect
Medical Systems of Natick, Massachusetts, and is the first and only FDA-cleared
technology to provide a direct measure of assessing consciousness during
surgery.
