BIS guide for clinicians

BIS Monitoring During Typical GA
important to keep in mind that there is no single BIS value
or range that can be recommended as appropriate for all
patients, conditions, and anesthetic techniques.
It is important to emphasize that reliance on BIS
monitoring alone for intraoperative anesthetic
management is not recommended. Clinical
judgment is crucial when interpreting BIS data.
Patient assessment should include evaluation and
correlation of BIS data with hemodynamic and other
monitoring data as well as observation of clinical
signs. The BIS value is an additional piece of
information to be incorporated with other
information available for patient assessment.
