Authors' results and conclusions:
There is already widespread diffusion of the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor in Australian Hospitals. Level II evidence suggests that BIS monitoring may reduce the incidence of awareness during anaesthesia and time spent in post-anaesthesia care. In addition a Cochrane review is being conducted on this technology.
Authors' recommendations:
HealthPACT recommends that this technology be archived.
