BIS

BIS = bispectral index

e.g.:

"Depth of anaesthesia was monitored by the bispectral index (BIS), a processed EEG variable, which is provenly correlated with hypnotic drug effect. All patients recieved a bolus and continuous infusion of sufentanil. Induction of anaesthesia was performed with propofol. Anaesthesia was maintained with a continuous infusion of sufentanil and sevoflurane. The last one was increased or decreased to maintain the BIS between 40 and 60."

HTH,
