Estimation of the Anesthetic Depth Using Wavelet Analysis of Electroencephalogram.

摘要

This paper investigates the use of wavelet decomposition of the electroencephalogram (EEG) to assess the hypnotic state of anesthetized patients undergoing surgery. A single case study and a comparison with an existing monitor of hypnosis are presented. The proposed technique can differentiate clearly between the anesthetized state and the awake 'baseline' state.
