The Entropy Module and Bispectral Index as guidance for propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia in combination with regional anaesthesia compared with a standard clinical practice group.

The article discusses a study on the impact of Entropy Module and Bispectral Index (BIS) monitoring on drug consumption and recovery times compared with standard clinical practice in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery using a combination of regional and general anaesthesia. An experienced anaesthesiologist performed the anaesthesia. The study involved 90 adult patients who received a propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia at the University of Bonn in Germany. Results show Entropy and BIS-monitoring were not superior over standard practice.
