Post arrest bispectral index monitoring

Abstract

The bispectral index is electroencephalography-based technology is used to monitor sedation. BIS is a processed EEG parameter, that was designed specifically to assess patient responses to sedation and anesthesia. In this case report, we aimed to discuss the bispectral index changes during resuscitation of a patient who presented with cardiopulmonary arrest in the light of the literature.
