Entropy - a key measurement for personalized anesthesia
Entropy - a key measurement for personalized anesthesia
Entropy™ measures the state of the brain and has been shown to reflect the different phases of anesthesia. The use of Entropy in adults has been found to reduce the use of certain hypnotic drugs, therefore, helping anesthesiologists to tailor anesthetic drugs for each patient, helping avoid unnecessarily deep states of hypnosis, including burst suppression that has been associated with increased risk of delirium.1
