Is there a unified definition of anesthesia? What exactly are we monitoring? Processed electroencephalography (pEEG) monitors may not reliably assess all anesthetic endpoints. This book explains how anesthesiologists should not blindly follow the displayed numbers when they adjust their anesthetic agents’ doses. This book is based on the author's 30 years of experience researching the topic of Depth of Anesthesia (DOA) monitoring. Depth of Anesthesia monitors are pEEG Monitors. All conditions that would alter the EEG (these are many) would also alter the DOA displayed numbers so each reader should learn how to correctly interpret the displayed numbers.
