However, only Published: xx xx xxxx a portion of the proprietary algorithm has been identifed. We investigated the BIS algorithm using clinical big data and machine learning techniques. Retrospective data from 5,427 patients who underwent BIS monitoring during general anaesthesia were used, of which 80% and 20% were used as training datasets and test datasets, respectively. A histogram of data points was plotted to defne fve BIS ranges representing the depth of anaesthesia. Decision tree analysis was performed to determine the electroencephalography subparameters and their thresholds for classifying fve BIS ranges. Random sample consensus regression analyses were performed using the subparameters to derive multiple linear regression models of BIS calculation in fve BIS ranges. The performance of the decision tree and regression models was externally validated with positive predictive value and median absolute error, respectively. A four-level depth decision tree was built with four subparameters such as burst suppression ratio, power of electromyogram, 95% spectral edge frequency, and relative beta ratio. Positive predictive values were 100%, 80%, 80%, 85% and 89% in the order of increasing BIS in the fve BIS ranges. The average of median absolute errors of regression models was 4.1 as BIS value.

  • The Introduction of Bispectral Index (BIS) in Anesthesia Practice
    EDITORIAL VIEW The introduction of bispectral index (BIS) in anesthesia practice Dario Galante, MD, Matteo Melchionda, MD University Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care University Hospital Ospedali Riuniti, Foggia, Italy Correspondance: Dario Galante, MD, University Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care, University Hospital Ospedali Riuniti, Foggia (Italy); E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY During every surgical procedure we must keep the anesthetic level at an appropriate level so that the patient will neither feel pain nor remember the operation. Yet this anesthetic depth must be balanced against the negative effects and consequences of excess anesthetic and the associated potential for delayed wake up. A wide range of monitoring devices allows us to to avoid the risks of pain, unwanted movements, hemodynamic changes as well as awareness. During the past few years processed EEG signals have become available that help gauge the depth of anesthesia by generating a score linked to EEG activity, which becomes depressed as anesthesia deepens. The bispectral index (BIS) represents one of these innovative methods of monitoring in anesthesia, even if more studies are still needed to make it more precise, especially in pediatric patients and neonates where reliability has yet to be well established. Key words: Bispectral index; Neurological monitoring; Awareness; Depth of anesthesia Citation: Galante D, Melchionda M. The introduction of bispectral index (BIS) in anesthesia practice.

Sedation in children is increasingly emerging as a minimally invasive technique that may be associated with local anaesthesia or diagnostic and therapeutic procedures which do not necessarily require general anaesthesia. Standard monitoring requirements are not sufficient to ensure an effective control of pulmonary ventilation and deep sedation. Capnography in pediatric sedation assesses the effect of different drugs on the occurrence of respiratory failure and records early indicators of respiratory impairment. The Bispectral index (BIS) allows the reduction of dose requirements of anaesthetic drugs, the reduction in the time to extubation and eye opening, and the reduction in the time to discharge.

Studies addressing this have suggested longer delays. We evaluated Depth of anesthesia; the time delay in the Bispectral Index response. Awareness; Methods: Based on clinical data from 45 patients, using the difference between the predicted Time delay and the real BIS, calculated during a fixed 3 minutes period after the moment the Bispec- tral Index dropped below 80 during the induction of general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil. Results: The difference between the predicted and the real BIS was in average 30.09 ± 18.73 s. Conclusion: Our results may be another indication that the delay in BIS processing may be much longer than stated by the manufacture, a fact with clinical implications. © 2019 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.
