Abstract

A systematic review represents the highest level of evidence to inform clinical practice and research. The results of this systematic review report on the impact of intraoperative brain activity monitoring on postanesthesia care unit length of stay. If used to guide anesthesia practice, the intraoperative brain activity monitor will have a statistically insignificant impact on reducing postanesthesia care unit length of stay. Clinicians should be aware, however, that there is a clinically useful reduction in postanesthesia care unit length of stay resulting in potential cost savings.
