Explore the transformative power of the Bispectral Index (BIS) Monitoring System in administering anesthesia to elderly patients. With a focus on minimizing postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction, this course delves into how BIS monitoring tailors anesthetic depth, reduces drug usage, and expedites recovery by providing real-time EEG data. Ideal for anesthesia professionals, it covers preoperative optimization, perioperative management, and practical integration of BIS monitoring into clinical practice, supported by compelling research and meta-analyses. Elevate your perioperative care with advanced monitoring techniques to protect the aging brain.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe the application of BIS technology.
2. Analyze burst suppression using Processed EEG (pEEG) to reduce postoperative delirium.
3. Understand the value of Processed EEG in the OR to ICU transfer.
4. Summarize the utility of BIS Monitoring in anesthesia for elderly patients.
