Hi ,

- index bispectral

In English = Bispectral Index (BIS) =

In Port . and Spanish = Índice Biespectral (BIS)™

I have the explanation for this in Spanish... Hope it helps...

El BIS es un parámetro del electroencefalograma (EEG) que mide los

efectos hipnóticos de los anestésicos y de los agentes sedantes en el

cerebro.
