Bispectral index monitoring to detect delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Evaluate the bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to detect delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). ⋯ BIS value is the most useful BIS parameter for detecting DCI after aSAH. Pending further validation, BIS monitoring might be even more accurate than TCD.
