Anesthesia and the Brain - The value of BIS™, Pt 1: Value of monitoring during surgical procedures

For this segment of the discussion on anesthesia and the brain, we discuss the value of using BIS™ monitoring during the surgical procedure. The discussion features  Dr. TJ Gan, Professor of Anesthesiology and Distinguished Endowed Chair at Stony Brook University and Dr. Stephen Bader, Chief of Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology at Heritage Valley Health System in Beaver, PA to help provide insight. Brain monitoring is an adjunctive technology that should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or clinical decision-making.
