Abstract: Electrode systems for use with neuromuscular monitoring systems are provided herein. An example electrode system for use with a monitoring system can include a flexible substrate, a connector interface, one or more stimulating electrodes, one or more recording electrodes and a plurality of conductive traces carried on the flexible substrate. The connector interface can be configured to communicatively connect the electrode system with the monitoring system. In addition, the one or more stimulating electrodes can be configured to deliver an electrical pulse, and the one or more recording electrodes can be configured to receive an electrical signal. The plurality of conductive traces can electrically connect at least one stimulating electrode or at least one recording electrode with the connector interface. Further, each of the one or more stimulating electrodes can have an elongate shape with a length dimension that is substantially greater than a width dimension.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for displaying a degree of neuromuscular block in a patient. An example system can include: a display unit having a graphical user interface (GUI); a processor; and a memory. The system can be configured to: receive data in response to a pattern of stimuli applied to the patient according to a stimulation protocol; determine the degree of neuromuscular block based on the received data; display a numerical representation corresponding to the degree of neuromuscular block; display a graphical representation corresponding to the degree of neuromuscular block and display a timer related to the stimulation protocol. The numerical and graphical representations can be displayed in first and second regions of the GUI, respectively. Additionally, a display color of at least a portion of the first region, the numerical and graphical representations can be configured to dynamically change based on the degree of neuromuscular block.
