The Narcotrend algorithm is based on pattern recognition of the raw electroencephalogram (EEG) and classifies the EEG traces into different stages from A (awake) to F (increasing burst suppression down to electrical silence).
The raw EEG signal can be recorded by standard electrocardiogram electrodes for single- and double-channel registration.
The Narcotrend monitor provides a vast amount of information: the actual Narcotrend stage and index, the trend (‘cerebrogram’), the raw EEG signal and a power spectrum and several derived EEG parameters.
