AI Technical Summary
Existing EEG-guided anesthetic management systems, such as the Bispectral Index (BIS) and Sedline, are inaccurate for older patients and those with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD), leading to increased risk and incidence of post-operative delirium (POD), and fail to account for individual patient variability in anesthetic needs.
A computerized framework utilizing the M1 index for EEG-based monitoring that accurately assesses anesthetic brain state and provides real-time guidance for personalized anesthetic management, reducing the risk of POD by 50% or more.
The M1 index achieves 100% accuracy in identifying patients at risk of POD, allowing for precise titration of anesthesia to minimize anesthetic exposure and significantly reduce POD incidence compared to conventional systems.
