“Titration of Volatile
Anesthetics Using Bispectral Index Facilitates Recovery after Ambulatory
Anesthesia”
This prospective, randomized
study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of bispectral index (BIS) in the
wake-up period of anesthesia. Several
groups were assigned to receive various forms of maintenance anesthesia,
including Desflurane, Sevoflurane, nitrous oxide, and fentanyl, and some
combinations thereof. The control groups
were blinded to the BIS number, while others attempted to titrate their
anesthetics to approximately 60. In the
end, those anesthesia providers who used the BIS to titrate their anesthetics
had higher BIS numbers, used less volatile anesthetics, and had quicker verbal
responsiveness times.
