SedLine® brain function monitoring for Root® provides four simultaneous EEG channels to enable continuous assessment of both sides of the brain. The Patient State Index provides information about a patient’s response to anesthesia. Instantly interpretable, high-visibility display of Masimo’s breakthrough rainbow® and SET®measurements is made possible by Masimo’s Radical-7® handheld monitor.
For use with Root and SedLine Sensors.
EEG and Anesthesia
Quantitative EEG (QEEG) Measures of Brain Activity in Response to Anesthesia
- As the brain falls asleep, EEG activity declines according to a specific, invariant pattern1
- Drop in activity begins in the frontal lobes and moves toward the back of the brain
Shifts in EEG Power at Induction and Loss of Consciousness (LOC)
- When waking up, EEG activity increases across the brain in exactly the opposite sequence observed when falling asleep
- These activity patterns have been shown to be invariant across a range of patient types and sedative/anesthetic agents2
- Propofol
- Inhalation gas - Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane
- Nitrous/narcotic
