ENTROPY: A KEY MEASUREMENT FOR
PERSONALIZED ANESTHESIA
This infographic highlights the importance of Entropy monitoring as a critical tool for delivering personalized anesthesia and reducing the risk of intraoperative awareness. Each year, approximately 26,000 cases occur in the U.S. and 400,000 globally, with some patients experiencing explicit recall of surgery that can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Entropy, a technology for measuring the depth of anesthesia, has been shown to help clinicians optimize drug dosing, reducing the use of Sevoflurane/Isoflurane by 30% and Propofol by 15%. By preventing both under- and overdosing, Entropy supports improved patient safety, faster recovery and discharge, and reduced drug consumption. The infographic positions Entropy as an evidence-based solution that enhances anesthesia care quality, patient outcomes, and hospital efficiency.
