1
Q

What is Entropy?

A

It uses EEG and FEMG signals to determine the CNS state during anesthesia.

2
Q

How is entropy measured?

A

It measures the cortical electrical activity via EEG which becomes more regular with deeper anesthesia and FEMG quiets down as anesthetic is deepened.

3
Q

FEMG stands for?

A

Frontalis Electromyography

4
Q

BIS monitoring does what?

A

Monitors the effect of anesthetics in the brain

5
Q

Do you have to calibrate the BIS monitor?

A

NO

6
Q

Do the drugs given effect the patient and how they are monitored?

No they are independent of each other

Q

What are the 3 parts to the anesthesia triad?

A

Consciousness/Hipnosis, Analgesia, Muscle Realxation

Autonomic and Somatic Responses

9
Q

How do we evaluate how well our patients are muscle relaxed?

Train of 4

10
Q

How can we monitor our patients Consciousness?

A

BIS monitor

A

70

17
Q

Benefits of entropy monitoring?

A

Less drug utilization, faster wake up and extubation, More alert in PACU, Reduced PONV

18
Q

Estimated population aware during anesthesia?

A

1:1000

19
Q

Optimal Depth of Unconsciousness?

A

40-60 on the BIS

20
Q

Most important Reason to use a BIS monitor?

A

Effective monitoring for risk of awareness

21
Q

Can you use the BIS on the Left, RIght or both sides of the head?

A

Both

22
Q

Placement of the BIS

A

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

23
Q

The SQI number from 0-100 is an ________ of _________ obtained in the last 60 seconds.

A

Average of information

24
Q

The EMG may bias the BIS to a HIgher or Lower value?

A

Higher value

25
Q

Name two categories of drugs that lower the EMG (muscle tone)?

A

Analgesics and Hypnotics

26
Q

Name the 2 major sites that anesthetics work?

A

Brain and spinal cord

27
Q

Is BIS an anesthetic depth measurement?

A

NO, it’s just one more piece of info on your patient to make a decision

28
Q
A

Know The RANGES

29
Q

BIS response to Ketamine administrtion is

A

Atypical

30
Q

BIS response to anelgesia administration is dependent on

A

Level of stimulation

31
Q

BIS monitoring derives brain status from the EEG not?

A

The concerntation of a particular drug

32
Q

The BIS index valuse is calculated over how many seconds

A

15 -30 seconds

33
Q

BIS values may lag behind observed clinical changes by how long?

A

5-10 seconds

34
Q

EMG (forehead muscle tone) may increase or decrease BIS?

A

Increase

35
Q

During stable anesthesia without EMG artifact, Neuro muscular Blockers have little or no effect on the BIS??

True or False

A

True

36
Q

Ketamine may transiently increase BIS values due to EEG activation??

True or False

A

True

37
Q

Etomidate may transiently increase BIS??

True or False

A

True related to the drug induce myoclonus

38
Q

Which druge will increase the BIS value

Phenelphrine or Ephedrine

A

Ephedrine

Phenelephrine dose not

39
Q

Beta blockers and Alpha 2 Blockerswill cause and increase in the BIS value??

True or False

A

False they will cause a decrease in the BIS value

40
Q

If excessive EMG was noted on your patient prior to induction and a neuromuscular blocker was administered will ou have a steep incline or decline in the BIS value?

A

Steep decline because the BIS takes into account the EMG
