low, and a climbing/rising BIS trace seen in Fig. 3 should be addressed immediately. The study protocol, however, involved waiting a little longer to see if the patient woke further and had a ‘hand squeezing conversation’ with the attending clinician. This, we feel, is unacceptable since, if light anaesthesia is a possibility, a cause should be sought (e.g. inadequate analgesia) and the anaesthetic adjusted accordingly, without delay. We feel that Russell should have made it clear in his discussion that accepting a BIS value > 60 is not to be encouraged unless the patient is haemodynamically stable and the anaesthetic concentrations are clinically adequate (which is questionable in this study when one example shows a propofol target concentration < 2 lg.ml ). The isolated forearm technique, if used for its original purpose and not simply to test the boundaries of probability, is undoubtedly the gold standard for monitoring wakefulness under anaesthesia; it is, however, unlikely ever to be widely adopted into routine clinical practice. As routine users of intra-operative BIS monitoring, we would urge all readers not to take the findings of Russell’s study in isolation. He has correctly concluded that patients may respond to command with a BIS value < 60. He has gone on to demonstrate that by deliberately giving an inadequate anaesthetic this becomes more likely. Our final question for Russell (and perhaps other depth of anaesthesia monitoring sceptics) is this: what kind of monitoring would they like to be used on themselves if they were undergoing major surgery using total intravenous anaesthesia with neuromuscular blockade? In common with all the other monitoring devices utilised by anaesthetists, BIS has the potential for error and artifactual readings. Pulse oximetry does not preclude the possibility of unrecognised hypoxaemia, nor can train-of-four monitoring prevent occurrences of postoperative residual curisation; the likelihood of either event is, however, diminished when they are used by a competent anaesthetist who is trained in their use and is aware of their potential flaws. BIS does not aim to replace vigilant attending anaesthetists, but rather provides them with additional information that has the potential to benefit the patients under their care.
