Q

How is entropy measured?

A

It measures the cortical electrical activity via EEG which becomes more regular with deeper anesthesia and FEMG quiets down as anesthetic is deepened.

Q

Name two categories of drugs that lower the EMG (muscle tone)?

A

Analgesics and Hypnotics

26
Q

Name the 2 major sites that anesthetics work?

A

Brain and spinal cord

27
Q

Is BIS an anesthetic depth measurement?

A

NO, it’s just one more piece of info on your patient to make a decision

28
Q
A

Know The RANGES

29
Q

BIS response to Ketamine administrtion is

A

Atypical

30
Q

BIS response to anelgesia administration is dependent on

A

Level of stimulation

31
Q

BIS monitoring derives brain status from the EEG not?

A

The concerntation of a particular drug

32
Q

The BIS index valuse is calculated over how many seconds

A

15 -30 seconds

33
Q

BIS values may lag behind observed clinical changes by how long?

A

5-10 seconds

34
Q

EMG (forehead muscle tone) may increase or decrease BIS?

A

Increase

35
Q

During stable anesthesia without EMG artifact, Neuro muscular Blockers have little or no effect on the BIS??

True or False

A

True

36
Q

Ketamine may transiently increase BIS values due to EEG activation??

True or False

A

True

37
Q

Etomidate may transiently increase BIS??

True or False

A

True related to the drug induce myoclonus

38
Q

Which druge will increase the BIS value

Phenelphrine or Ephedrine

A

Ephedrine

Phenelephrine dose not

39
Q

Beta blockers and Alpha 2 Blockerswill cause and increase in the BIS value??

True or False

A

False they will cause a decrease in the BIS value

40
Q

If excessive EMG was noted on your patient prior to induction and a neuromuscular blocker was administered will ou have a steep incline or decline in the BIS value?

A

Steep decline because the BIS takes into account the EMG

41
Q

On what types of patients should a BIS monitor be used on?

A

Previous episodes of awareness

High opoid sedative tolerance

Anticipated difficult airways

Known to be hemodynamically unstable

Surgical procedures with an increase risk of awareness

42
Q

There has been shown an 80% reduction in incidents of awarness when using the BIS monitor

True or False

A

True

43
Q

Is Entropy different then BIS

A

Yes Bis measures mainly EEG giving you one number while Entropy measures Frontalis electromyography and EEG changes

44
Q

EEG patterns change from irrgeular to regular with anesthetic depth??

Ture or False

A

True

45
Q

FEMG patterns increase with anesthetic depth

True or Flase

A

False the Frontalis electromyography quiets down as the brain is saturated with anesthetic

46
Q

What does entropy measure?

A

The irregularity of the EEG and FEMG signals

47
Q

There are 2 entropy parameters what are they?

A

Response Entropy

and

State Entropy

48
Q

Response Entropy (RE) is sensitive to what?

A

facial muscle activation with in 2 seconds

49
Q

State Entropy (SE) is always less than or equal to what?

A

Response Entropy (RE)

50
Q

State Entropy is base on what?

A

The EEG signal

51
Q

Do NMB effect the EEG?

A

NO

52
Q

Are the BIS and Entorpy guidline ranges the same for conciousness?

A

YES

40-60 is where you want to be for no recall

53
Q

Entropy and BIS will help the CRNA with what?

A

Ensuring faster and more predictable wake ups

Improving drug management

Avoid unnecessary deep anesthesia

prevent unexpected recovery

57
Q

Does BIS reduce PACU stay?

A

Yes by 16%

58
Q

Less then 40 on the concious guidlines for BIS or Entropy means what

A

Deep Hypnotic State

EEG suppression

A

Dual position versitility or

right or left application

60

True

61
