Electroencephalographic Feedback Control of Anesthetic Drug Administration

  • Chapter
Central Nervous System Monitoring in Anesthesia and Intensive Care

Abstract

The relationship between drug dosing and the induced time course of effect is of major interest for the anesthetist when aiming at inducing and maintaining an anesthetic state. Especially when the patient is treated with neuromuscular blocking agents, there are only very limited apparent clinical signs for detecting awareness. A reliable estimation and prediction of drug dosing to prevent intra-operative awareness is therefore required.
