2. In the work of Casas-Arroyave et al2 on the evaluation of a closed-loop intravenous total anesthesia delivery system compared to an open-loop system, it was found that:
The closed-loop system presents a good to excellent anesthetic control in about 80% of the patients tested.
The Bispectral Index (BIS) time percentage below 40 was more frequent in the closed loop.
The open loop system places almost 30% of patients in the ranges of poor or inadequate anesthetic depth.
Wake-up time was significantly longer with closed loop compared to open loop.
