BIS™ Monitoring Technology Enabling Safety and Quality Improvements in the Operating Room
BIS™ technology backs you up with proven brain monitoring Given the complexity of the decisions you face, it makes sense to incorporate the added security of BIS™ monitoring into your practice. Used in millions of procedures requiring anesthesia, BIS technology can provide insight into the direct and patientspecific effects of anesthesia on the brain. how bis technology works • Raw EEG data are obtained through a sensor placed on the patient’s forehead.
“Using the BIS™ monitor has made me more of a scientist and a more perceptive clinician. It is, in short, an essential part of modern anesthesia.” — Irene Osborn, M.D., Mt. Sinai Medical Center Insight into brain responses1 • BIS™ monitoring can help clarify the distinction between brain and spinal cord responses, enabling you to manage anesthetic goals of hypnosis, analgesia and immobility.

Improving quality and safety for a variety of patients10,12-14 BIS™ technology offers you added security in providing specialized care and comfort for your patients, including those who may be more sensitive to the hemodynamic effects of anesthesia. BIS™ monitoring provides valuable information about the status of your patients to help address their unique anesthetic requirements.
“BIS™ technology is an invaluable teaching tool. It equips my students with the information they need to determine when they can safely titrate back their anesthetic. The added confidence that BIS technology provides has a significant impact on the quality and efficiency of the anesthesia they administer.
