Adequate depth of anaesthesia is very important during a surgical procedure. A light plane of anaesthesia results in awareness and a depth above the desired level causes cardiovascular depression. 100 ASA-PS 1,2 patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were grouped into two. In first group, the depth of anaesthesia was assessed using clinical parameters (PRST Score) and in second group, along with clinical parameters, BIS was also used. After analysis of data, it was found that along with the PRST score, BIS helps in decision making, facilitates titration of anaesthetics and achieve the best possible outcome for the patient
