Entropy Monitoring Flashcards
What is Entropy?
It uses EEG and FEMG signals to determine the CNS state during anesthesia.
How is entropy measured?
It measures the cortical electrical activity via EEG which becomes more regular with deeper anesthesia and FEMG quiets down as anesthetic is deepened.
FEMG stands for?
Frontalis Electromyography
BIS monitoring does what?
Monitors the effect of anesthetics in the brain
Do you have to calibrate the BIS monitor?
NO
Do the drugs given effect the patient and how they are monitored?
No they are independent of each other
What are the 3 parts to the anesthesia triad?
Consciousness/Hipnosis, Analgesia, Muscle Realxation
How do we measure how well we are managing analgesia for our patients?
Autonomic and Somatic Responses
How do we evaluate how well our patients are muscle relaxed?
Train of 4
How can we monitor our patients Consciousness?
BIS monitor
BIS Range Guidelines: 0 - 39?
Deep hypnotic state, EEG supression
BIS Range Guidelines: 40 - 60?
Moderate Hypnotic State
BIS Range Guidelines: 61 - 70?
Light Hypnotic State
BIS Range Guidelines: 71 - 100?
Awake, Light to Moderate Sedation
BIS numbers less then what have a low probability of consciousness?
60
BIS numbers less then what have a low probability of recall?
70
Benefits of entropy monitoring?
Less drug utilization, faster wake up and extubation, More alert in PACU, Reduced PONV
Estimated population aware during anesthesia?
1:1000
Optimal Depth of Unconsciousness?
40-60 on the BIS
Most important Reason to use a BIS monitor?
Effective monitoring for risk of awareness
Can you use the BIS on the Left, RIght or both sides of the head?
Both
Placement of the BIS
Circle 1- centered above the nose 2 inches Circle 4- Above and adjacent to eyebrow Circle 3 - At the temple between the the corner of the eye and hairline
The SQI number from 0-100 is an ________ of _________ obtained in the last 60 seconds.
Average of information
The EMG may bias the BIS to a HIgher or Lower value?
Higher value
