Which anesthetic monitoring device registers the brain wave activity of the patient and enables anesthetic titration for optimal level of consciousness during surgical intervention?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bispectral index (BIS) is a monitoring device that registers the brain wave activity of the patient and provides an objective measure of the level of consciousness during anesthesia. It enables anesthetic titration for optimal level of consciousness during surgical intervention. The other options, such as Doppler device, electrocardiogram, and pulse oximeter, do not measure brain wave activity and are used for monitoring other physiological parameters.
