Application of bis monitoring in children during intensive therapy of severe traumatic brain injury

: The article presents the experience of the BIS monitoring in comparison with indicators of the pediatric Glasgow coma scale in 20 children with severe traumatic brain injury. Analyzed sample consists of 881 observations that contain two variables that contain high-quality sequence (a score on a scale of Glasgow in grades) and quantitative discrete values (the values of BIS). The Analysis is carried out by the nonparametric statistics with the definition of the relation between quality and quantity of ordinal traits by the rank correlation. The Spearman's coefficient rank correlation between scoring on Glasgow coma scale and the magnitude of BIS was R = 0.85 p < 0.001. Thus, the results showed that during severe traumatic brain injury in children the values of BIS have a high degree of correlation with the depth of coma on the Glasgow coma scale.
