SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
While optimal circulatory monitoring - including continuous EEG recording during anes- thesia or intensive care - is today regarded as routine, the problem of objec- tive and continuous monitoring of cerebral function under various forms of anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care has not been solved.
