    摘要: An automated evoked potential analysis apparatus for improved monitoring, detecting and identifying changes to a patient's physiological system is described. The apparatus includes an input device for obtaining electrical potential data from the patient's physiological system after application of stimulation to a patient's nerve and a computing system for receiving and analyzing the electrical potential data. The computing system includes a processing circuit configured to: generate a plurality of evoked potential waveforms (EPs) based on the electrical potential data, measure changes or trends in the generated EPs utilizing a sliding window of analysis, display incremental changes in waveforms between full subsets of EPs, and determine an alert vote for each subset, representative of changes to the physiological system generating the EPs.

    摘要: A medical method of automatically improving signals received from a patient's physiological system can include delivering stimulation signals to a nerve pathway of a patient with electrical pulses via electrodes placed over the nerve pathway to generate a plurality of resultant electrical waveforms (EPs) based on a plurality of electrophysiological responses (ERs); recording the plurality of resultant EPs; generating an ensemble average waveform (EA), the generating comprising averaging a subset of the plurality of ERs; and denoising the EA, the denoising comprising applying a wavelet transform to the EA.

    摘要: A method for determining a lowest stimulation threshold current level in a group of channels of a neuromonitoring device. The method includes stimulating tissue at a current level from a predetermined range of current levels as a sequence of pulses delivered at a frequency. The stimulating includes increasing the current level of each pulse in the sequence of pulses from an immediately preceding pulse by a first current increment. The method includes determining that a first evocation pulse from the sequence of pulses evokes a first muscular response. The method includes stimulating the tissue with a second evocation pulse from the sequence of pulses to evoke a second muscular response. The stimulating includes decreasing the frequency of the delivery of each pulse in the sequence of pulses and increasing the current level of each pulse in the sequence of pulses from the immediately preceding pulse by a second current increment. The method includes determining that the second evocation pulse from the sequence of pulses evokes the second muscular response.
