Brain Function Monitoring

A More Complete Picture Starts with More Complete Data

Brain Function Monitoring helps clinicians monitor the state of the brain under anesthesia with bilateral data acquisition and processing of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.

Why Monitor the Brain During Anesthesia?

The brain is one of the most important organs in the body. By delivering greater insights into changes in brain function under anesthesia, SedLine is designed to help monitor it before, during, and after surgery.

Deliver Balanced Anesthesia

Titrating to the individual patient’s needs may help reduce oversedation,1 which has been linked to poor outcomes2

  • Clinical Evidence

    Clinical benefit of processed electroencephalography (pEEG)

    Patients may experience:

    • Less burst suppression1
    • Less over-sedation1
    • Enhanced recovery and more rapid ventilation weaning3

    Clinicians and hospitals indicate they benefit when technology impacts:

    • Reduced length of stay (LOS)3
    • Reduced cost per patient3
  • Clinical Evidence

    EEG Patterns Associated with PACU Delirium2

    “Conclusions: Specific EEG patterns were associated with PACU delirium. These findings provide valuable information regarding how the brain reacts to surgery and anaesthesia that may lead to strategies to predict PACU delirium and identify key areas of investigation for its prevention.”2

"...reasons why monitoring processed EEG may be of value: prevent awareness, save money by reducing anesthetic cost, prevent excessively deep and unnecessarily deep anesthesia..."

  1. Four simultaneous channels of frontal EEG waveforms
  2. An enhanced Patient State Index (PSi), a processed EEG parameter related to the effect of anesthetic agents
  3. A Density Spectral Array (DSA) display, which contains left and right spectrograms representing the power of the EEG on both sides of the brain
  4. An optional Multitaper DSA, which may enhance visibility of EEG features

The Power of the Density Spectral Array (DSA)

SedLine offers the flexibility of choosing to display either an enhanced Multitaper Density Spectral Array (DSA) or a standard Hanning DSA.

  • This provides the ability to see the symmetry of left and right sides of the brain.
  • Clearly indicates incidence of burst suppression/isoelectric activity as a black line with blue tip.
  • Spectral edge frequency represents where 95% of the brain power lies.

Understand the DSA

The DSA represents the power of the EEG on both sides of the brain, alongside other patient information provided by SedLine sensors. Watch the video to learn more.

Improved Depth of Sedation Monitoring with Patient State Index (PSi)

SedLine features an enhanced signal processing engine providing a better, more accurate Patient State Index (PSi), a processed EEG parameter related to the effect of anesthetic agents. Learn how we’ve advanced this technology.

  • Enhanced Features

    Parallel Signal Processing Engines

    EMG Graph

    EMG is a common confounding factor that can interfere with EEG signals used in brain function monitoring.4 SedLine uses parallel signal processing engines to extract a clearer EEG signal for computing PSi.

  • Enhanced Features

    Adaptive Signal Processing

    Adaptive Signal Processing Graph

    Power across all frequency bands decreases with age.5 When computing PSi, SedLine uses adaptive signal processing with band-independent features to search for EEG features across many frequency bands.
