Abstract

A 67-yr-old man, undergoing pulmonary metastasis resection, experienced a postoperative cardiopulmonary arrest as a result of severe bleeding. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated, then bispectral index (BIS) monitoring was used which reassured the medical team of the adequacy of the resuscitation.
