Investors Have Overreacted: The Use of BIS Devices to Monitor the Depth of Anesthesia Will Not Be Affected by One Negative Article

April 14, 2008

Analysis by:Alex Bekker, Associate Professor, Anesthesiology & Neurosurgery,

Anesthesia Awareness and the Bispectral Index | content.nejm.org

The recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine has suggested that the BIS monitoring system does not reduce the incidence of awareness under anesthesia. The stock of Aspect Medical Systems, the manufacturer of the BIS monitoring system, has lost 40% of its value during the last few weeks. The numerous problems with this particular trial design and its execution, however, preclude the educated reader from drawing any far-reaching conclusions. I do not believe that this article would seriously affect the use of BIS devices.
