ABSTRACT:
An electrocephalograph (EEG) system and. method is provided to monitor patients during and after medical operations. An anesthesiologist administers sufficient anesthetics to cause the patient to attain the desired plane of anesthesia. The patient's brain waves, both ongoing and evoked by stimuli, are amplified, digitized and recorded. That pre-operative set of brain wave data is compared to a set of the patient's brain wave data obtained during the operation in order to determine if additional, or less, anesthesia is required, paying particular attention to the relative power in the theta band, as an indication of brain blood flow, and prolongations of the latency periods under brain stem stimuli, as an indication of the patient's ability to feel pain.
