RMV->)You might wake patients faster, prevent awareness in surgery and avoid overly deep anesthesia with the Datex-Ohmeda Entropy Module. It measures electroencephalography (EEG) and forehead muscle activity (frontalis electromyography), processes both signals through an algorithm and reports results. A paper authored by company scientists says results are as accurate as bispectral index's, but response time is .5 seconds.
