How using brain monitoring during anesthesia affects children's recovery compared to usual care: A review and analysis
Updated
Abstract
Children monitored with bispectral index (BIS) during anaesthesia maintenance had significantly lower end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations.
- BIS monitoring is linked to shorter times for first response, eye-opening, extubation, and post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) stay.
- No significant differences were observed in other outcome measures when comparing BIS-guided anaesthesia to traditional methods.
- The study highlights the potential benefits of BIS for improving recovery quality in children after general anaesthesia.
