BEAUTY SLEEP?
Dr. Man Introduces Space Age BIS Monitoring
for Cosmetic Surgery Patients
Safety has no limits. Before going undergoing plastic surgery,
most patients usually ask two questions. 
They want to know will I be asleep during surgery and are you going to
wake me up? Now, thanks to a revolutionary device that monitors brain
wave activity during surgery, known as BIS Monitoring,
Dr. Daniel Man and anesthesiologists Dr. Andrew Astrove and Dr. Harvey
Plosker have an extra added margin of safety.
Angel On Our Shoulder
“BIS Monitoring is a giant step forward in the quest for patient
safety and comfort”, says Dr. Man, who is one of the first plastic
surgeons in Florida to introduce the device.
“It's like having an angel on our shoulders,” echos Dr. Astrove.
They feel that BIS Monitoring will prove a boon to surgeons and anesthesiologists
everywhere.
According to Dr. Man, every cosmetic surgery patient is unique and requires
a customized amount of anesthetic and sedative medication to ensure that
they are unconscious and free of pain, yet able to wake-up quickly and
experience minimal side-effects from anesthesia and sedation. “Using
BIS Monitoring, now we know just the amount of anesthesia to give and
the right level for the type of plastic surgery procedure," he says.
"Patients recover quicker and better."
How Does BIS Monitoring Work?
Patients are monitored through special sensors placed on their foreheads.
These BIS Monitoring sensors record brain wave activity and translate
the information into a number that represents each patient’s level
of consciousness. Using this number as a guide, the surgeon and anesthesiologist
can provide optimal anesthesia and sedation. BIS (Bispectral Index technology)
is a product of Aspect Medical Systems, Newton, Massachusetts.
