The Idea Of Entropy

As a physical concept, entropy corresponds to the amount of microstates available to a system in thermal equilibrium. If the number of available highly disordered, whereas a system with microstates is large, the system appears only few available microstates appears relatively regular and well ordered.

Instructions

On the right, you see a system with various possible microstates. If you drag up the slider on the right the number of available states increases and, consequently, the entropy increases as well. The graph below indicates the changing entropy levels of the system.

Fact Sheet

Drug Dose Adjustment

Entropy parameters correlate with the amount of certain anesthetic agents administered to the patient. This may enable the physician to use Entropy as an aid in adjusting the anesthesia according to individual needs.

Integrated Information

When Entropy monitoring is integrated into a monitoring system, the measured values are displayed, trended and automatically documented together with all of the other monitored parameters.

Recovery Observation

Quantitative monitoring of the electrical activity of the brain and facial muscles gives the physician a tool which may enable prediction of recovery.

On the other hand processed EEG and FEMG variables may be used as an aid in preventing unexpected
