This editorial accompanied the 2004 study from Ekman, the first published evidence showing a reduction in awareness when BIS monitoring is used to monitor depth of anaesthesia.
Ekman’s findings were shortly after confirmed by Myles et al. in their landmark 2004 B-Aware Trial.
This editorial and the two related studies are well worth reading to give historical context to the emergence of reliable depth-of-anaesthesia monitors.
