Abstract
This presentation will concentrate on the use of CNS monitoring to predict awareness during general anesthesia. Awareness is an important clinical problem, and Roisen estimates that about 6% of patients are aware during anesthesia. Several modes of monitoring are available to implement the detection of awareness, including the EEG, evoked potentials, lower esophageal contractility, heart rate, blood pressure, or agent concentration.
