Patent Images
1. A depth of consciousness monitor configured to determine a level of sedation of a medical patient, the depth of consciousness monitor comprising:
- an EEG interface located within the depth of consciousness monitor and configured to receive an EEG signal from an EEG sensor;
an EEG front end configured to pre-process the EEG signal;
a processor, configured to determine a level of sedation of a medical patient based at least upon the pre-processed EEG signal, wherein the processor is further configured to determine delay information using a time the EEG signal is received by the EEG interface and a time the level of sedation is determined by the processor; and
a drug delivery device interface, configured to provide the level of sedation and the delay information to a drug delivery device.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to physiological monitoring to determine the depth of consciousness of a patient under sedation. The monitor includes an EEG sensor and a depth of consciousness monitor. The depth of consciousness monitor can utilize treatment data, such as patient data and/or drug profile information with an EEG signal to determine whether the patient is adequately sedated.
