Study Notes
Depth of Anesthesia
- The depth of anesthesia is defined by three components: unconsciousness, amnesia, and immobility
- The anesthetized state is characterized by a state of unconsciousness, amnesia, and immobility
Measuring Depth of Anesthesia
- The depth of anesthesia is typically measured using the Bispectral Index (BIS) or the Electroencephalogram (EEG)
- Instead of measuring unconsciousness directly, surrogates such as the BIS, EEG, or heart rate/blood pressure responses to painful stimuli can be used
Course on Pharmacology of Anesthetics
- The intended learning outcomes of the course on pharmacology of anesthetics include understanding the components needed to define the depth of anesthesia
- The course outline covers the pharmacology of anesthetics, including the depth of anesthesia and its measurement
