Abstract
This paper discusses the series of steps which have been taken to evaluate auditory evoked potentials (AEP) as a measure of depth of anesthesia. A brief description of the origins of the AEP and the reasons for its choice are given. The following two sections describe the experimental evaluation, where a hypothesis was formulated and statistical tests carried out, and clinical evaluation of the technique during surgery and anesthesia. Finally, progress is reviewed and future work discussed.
