Abstract
Anesthesia objectives have evolved into combining hypnosis, amnesia, analgesia, paralysis, and suppression of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system. Technological improvements have led to new monitoring strategies, aimed at translating a qualitative physiological state into quantitative metrics, but the optimal strategies for depth of anesthesia (DoA) and analgesia monitoring continue to stimulate debate. Historically, DoA monitoring used patient's movement as a surrogate of awareness. Pharmacokinetic models and metrics, including minimum alveolar concentration for inhaled anesthetics and target-controlled infusion models for intravenous anesthesia, provided further insights to clinicians, but electroencephalography and its derivatives (processed EEG; pEEG) offer the potential for personalization of anesthesia care. Current studies appear to affirm that pEEG monitoring decreases the quantity of anesthetics administered, diminishes postanesthesia care unit duration, and may reduce the occurrence of postoperative delirium (notwithstanding the difficulties of defining this condition). Major trials are underway to further elucidate the impact on postoperative cognitive dysfunction. In this manuscript, we discuss the Bispectral (BIS) index, Narcotrend monitor, Patient State Index, entropy-based monitoring, and Neurosense monitor, as well as middle latency evoked auditory potential, before exploring how these technologies could evolve in the upcoming years. In contrast to developments in pEEG monitors, nociception monitors remain by comparison underdeveloped and underutilized. Just as with anesthetic agents, excessive analgesia can lead to harmful side effects, whereas inadequate analgesia is associated with increased stress response, poorer hemodynamic conditions and coagulation, metabolic, and immune system dysregulation. Broadly, 3 distinct monitoring strategies have emerged: motor reflex, central nervous system, and autonomic nervous system monitoring. Generally, nociceptive monitors outperform basic clinical vital sign monitoring in reducing perioperative opioid use. This manuscript describes pupillometry, surgical pleth index, analgesia nociception index, and nociception level index, and suggest how future developments could impact their use. The final section of this review explores the profound implications of future monitoring technologies on anesthesiology practice and envisages 3 transformative scenarios: helping in creation of an optimal analgesic drug, the advent of bidirectional neuron-microelectronic interfaces, and the synergistic combination of hypnosis and virtual reality.

Abstract
The electroencephalogram (EEG) can be analyzed in its raw form for characteristic drug-induced patterns of change or summarized using mathematical parameters as a processed electroencephalogram (pEEG). In this article we aim to summarize the contemporary literature pertaining to the commonly available pEEG monitors including the effects of commonly used anesthetic drugs on the EEG and pEEG parameters, pEEG monitor pitfalls, and the clinical implications of pEEG monitoring for anesthesia, pediatrics, and intensive care.

J Clin Monit Comput 2020; 35:557-567. [PMID: 32307624 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-020-00511-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Accepted: 04/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Dose-dependent effects of ketamine on processed electroencephalographic depth-of-hypnosis indices have been reported. Limited data are available for the NeuroSENSE WAVCNS index. Our aim was to establish the feasibility of closed-loop propofol-remifentanil anesthesia guided by the WAVCNS index in the presence of an analgesic dose of ketamine. Thirty ASA I-II adults, 18-54 years, requiring general anesthesia for anterior cruciate ligament surgery were randomized to receive: full-dose [ketamine, 0.5 mg kg-1 initial bolus, 10 mcg kg-1 min-1 infusion] (recommended dose for postoperative pain management); half-dose [ketamine, 0.25 mg kg-1 bolus, 5 mcg kg-1 min-1 infusion]; or control [no ketamine]. After the ketamine bolus, patients received 1.0 mcg kg-1 remifentanil over 30 s, then 1.5 mg kg-1 propofol over 30 s, followed by manually-adjusted propofol-remifentanil anesthesia. The WAVCNS was > 60 for 7/9 patients in the full-dose group at 7 min after starting the propofol infusion. This was inconsistent with clinical observations of depth-of-hypnosis and significantly higher than control (median difference [MD] 17.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.4-26.8). WAVCNS was median [interquartile range] 49.3 [42.2-62.6] in the half-dose group, and not different to control (MD 5.1, 95% CI - 4.9 to 17.9). During maintenance of anesthesia, the WAVCNS was higher in the full-dose group compared to control (MD 14.7, 95% CI 10.2-19.2) and in the half-dose group compared to control (MD 11.4, 95% CI 4.7-20.4). The full-dose of ketamine recommended for postoperative pain management had a significant effect on the WAVCNS. This effect should be considered when using the WAVCNS to guide propofol-remifentanil dosing.Trial Registration ClinicalTrails.gov No. NCT02908945.
