To the Editors, The majority of children undergoing pediatric critical care transport (PCCT) are sedated, intubated, and muscle relaxed, and therefore, there is a risk of accidental awareness,1 particular in adolescent children. Bispectal index (BIS) is a processed electroencephalography device which monitors depth of anesthesia. To our knowledge, no PCCT service in the world routinely uses or has investigated BIS monitoring during inter-hospital pediatric critical care transport.
