Perioperative use of bispectral (BIS) monitor for a pressure ulcer patient with locked-in syndrome (LIS).
[locked-in syndrome]
The
bispectral
(
BIS
)
monitor
uses
brain
electroencephalographic
data
to
measure
the
depth
of
sedation
and
pharmacological
response
during
anaesthetic
procedures
.
In
this
case
,
the
BIS
monitor
was
used
for
another
purpose
,
to
demonstrate
postoperatively
to
the
nursing
staff
that
a
patient
with
history
of
locked-
in
syndrome
(
LIS
)
,
who
underwent
pressure
ulcer
debridement
,
had
periods
of
wakefulness
and
apparent
sensation
,
even
with
his
eyes
closed
.
Furthermore
,
as
patients
with
LIS
can
feel
pain
,
despite
being
unable
to
move
,
local
block
or
general
anaesthesia
should
be
provided
for
sharp
surgical
debridement
and
other
painful
procedures
.
This
use
of
the
BIS
has
shown
that
as
a
general
rule
,
the
staff
should
treat
the
patient
as
though
he
might
be
awake
and
sensate
even
if
he
does
not
open
his
eyes
or
move
his
limbs
.
The
goal
of
this
study
was
to
continuously
monitor
pain
level
and
communicate
these
findings
to
the
entire
wound
team
,
i
.
e
.
anaesthesiologists
,
surgeons
and
nurses
.
