Auditory evoked potential monitoring with the AAI^TM‐index during spinal surgery: decreased desflurane consumption

Abstract

Titrating depth of desflurane anesthesia using AAItrade mark-index guidance decreased main anesthetic consumption and improved emergence during spine surgery.

Cerebral state index response to incision: a clinical study in day‐surgical patients

“…A number of studies have indicated that the use of brain monitoring can decrease anaesthetic drug consumption and reduce the time required for emergence, suggesting that titrating anaesthesia according to brain monitor indices results in patients having lighter anaesthesia than those titrated according traditional clinical evaluation (7–10). Jensen recently reviewed the conceptual pitfalls and problematic lack of a gold standard when describing depth of hypnosis (11).…”
