One sedative drug to induce anesthesia during surgery is propofol. It diminishes the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), preventing memory formation and is coupled with a decrease in the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Anesthesia depth is commonly monitored by the bispectral index (BIS) to avoid awareness. Optical hybrid near-infrared spectroscopies have the potential to assess CMRO2 and other physiological signals (i.e. CBF). Optical signals acquired alongside BIS in surgeries were compared to it and provided additional information. Overall, agreement was found at different levels (group analysis, single subject analysis and simultaneity in time of changes).
