Depth of anesthesia monitoring
Depth of anesthesia monitoring is the process used by medical professionals to ensure a patient remains at the right level of unconsciousness during surgery. It involves tracking vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and brain activity to prevent the patient from waking up or feeling pain while under anesthesia. Advanced monitoring devices may analyze brain waves to assess how deeply the patient is anesthetized. This is important for patient safety and comfort, allowing doctors to adjust the anesthetic levels accordingly and provide a balanced and effective surgical experience.
