Ran a sim last week with a prototype closed‑loop propofol controller; in most published systems, which EEG‑derived index range (think BIS) do they auto‑hold to maintain adequate hypnosis under GA? I’m sketching an implementation plan for a limited OR pilot next quarter and want to sanity‑check the target before we lock in protocols.
OR pilot next quarter and want to sanity‑check the target I’d lock it at BIS 50 with a ±5 deadband (45–55); if EMG spikes or big stimulation hit, let it relax toward 40–60 rather than chasing noise — are you planning prop‑only or prop–remi?
My take: I’d lean toward the simplest next step and see if it changes anything this week — if not, you’ve got a clear case to escalate. What would block you from trying that?
