Event or Problem Description
|
|
The sedline device is a depth of anaesthesia monitor.It analyses the eeg of the anaesthetised patient.This analysis is displayed as a psi number.The range 25-50 is suggested to show adequate surgical anaesthesia.The raw eeg is also displayed, as is the sef - spectral edge frequency - another indicator of adequate anaesthesia.The use of depth of anaesthesia devices is recommended with total intravenous anaesthesia to prevent awareness during surgery.They are also considered useful to prevent overdosage of anaesthetic agents, and thus minimise the chance of post operative cognitive dysfunction.The psi displayed by sedline is proving unreliable.The number spontaneously climbs, suggesting inadequate anaesthesia, whilst all other clinical signs remain normal.
