Surgery, Thoracic
Conditions
Brief summary
In this observational study, all enrolled patients having a thoracic surgical procedure requiring lung isolation will have a bispectral index (BIS) monitor placed at time of induction. BIS monitors are used to assist in determining depth of anesthesia. This study will evaluate changes in BIS before, during and after lung isolation.
Interventions
BIS monitor is a novel measure of the level of consciousness by algorithmic analysis of a patient's electroencephalogram during general anesthesia.
