Depth of anaesthesia monitors – Bispectral Index (BIS), E-Entropy and Narcotrend-Compact M: review proposal

Review of NICE Diagnostics Guidance No. DG6; Depth of anaesthesia monitors – Bispectral Index (BIS), E-Entropy and Narcotrend-Compact M

Proposal to move the existing guidance to the static list.

The review of the above diagnostics guidance was launched in November 2015.

No significant changes to the care pathway or the technologies have been identified since the publication of diagnostics guidance 6. Further, no evidence has been found through the updated literature searches that will materially impact the recommendations made in diagnostics guidance 6. It is therefore proposed that this guidance is placed on the static guidance list.

In order to be completely confident that this is appropriate, we are asking all relevant registered stakeholders to inform us of any evidence which will help us decide the best way to update this guidance.
