  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADMINISTERING AN ANAESTHETIC
    Publication number: 20110137134
    Abstract: A method and system for objectively scoring intra-operative pain during general anaesthesia based on the patient's mean arterial pressure and heart rate. The index is used for closed-loop control of the intra-operative analgesia through adjustment of the drug infusion level according to fuzzy logic. It is further displayed along with other components of anaesthesia and important patient data on a monitoring display for presentation to medical staff.

  • Neuromuscular monitoring using phonomyography
    Patent number: 7236832
    Abstract: A neuromuscular monitoring system comprises at least one neurostimulator to apply muscle-activating stimulation signals to a patient's body via at least one electrode, and at least one pressure waveform sensor to detect pressure waveform signals produced by a patient's muscle in response to the applied stimulation signals. The detected pressure waveform signals are processed and data related to these detected pressure waveform signals are displayed. A method for neuromuscular monitoring using pressure waveform sensors is also described.
