SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING ANESTHESIA AND SEDATION USING MEASURES OF BRAIN COHERENCE AND SYNCHRONY

摘要

A system and method for monitoring and controlling the administration of at least one drug having anesthetic properties are provided. In certain embodiments, the method includes assembling physiological data, obtained from a plurality of sensors placed on a subject, into sets of time-series data, separating, from the sets of time-series data, a plurality of low frequency signals, and determining, from the plurality of low frequency signals, at least one of coherence information and synchrony information. The method can also include identifying, using the at least one of the coherence information and the synchrony information, spatiotemporal signatures indicative of at least one of a current state and a predicted future state of the patient consistent with the administration of at least one drug having anesthetic properties and generating a report indicating at least one of the current state and the predicted future state of the patient induced by the drug.

主权项

1. A system for monitoring a patient experiencing an administration of at least one drug having anesthetic properties, the system comprising:
at least one sensor configured to acquire physiological data from the patient; a user interface configured to receive an indication of at least one of a characteristic of the patient and the at least one drug having anesthetic properties; at least one processor configured to:
receive the physiological data from the plurality of sensors and the indication from the user interface;separate, from the physiological data, a plurality of low frequency signals;determine, from the plurality of low frequency signals, at least one of coherence information and synchrony information;identify, using the at least one of the coherence information and the synchrony information, spatiotemporal signatures indicative of at least one of a current state and a predicted future state of the patient consistent with administration of at least one drug having anesthetic properties; andgenerate a report indicating at least one of the current state and the predicted future state of the patient induced by the drug.
