"Market The depth of anaesthesia market is predicted to be worth US$750 million by 2008. There are eight products in the market and two companies whose focus is purely depth of anaesthesia monitoring. The benchmark monitor at present is BIS (the Bispectra Index at Aspect Medical Systems Inc). It has been shown in extensive clinical trials that improved monitoring of the depth of anaesthesia reduces recovery times, the costs of anaesthesia and the incidence of postoperative recall."
