Electroencephalography (EEG)-guided anesthesia is an approach to anesthesia administration in which a patient’s brain activity is analyzed through EEG to help titrate the anesthetic depth. Unlike traditional dosing strategies that rely predominantly on age, weight, minimum alveolar concentration, infusion rates, and clinical signs, EEG assesses the brain’s response to anesthetic drugs.
The goal of EEG-guided anesthesia is to maintain an appropriate hypnotic state while avoiding unnecessarily deep anesthesia, hemodynamic...
