A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING SEDATION, PARALYSIS, AND NEURAL-INTEGRITY

摘要

The present invention relates to a system comprising a small stimulator unit (10) which is designed to be mounted near the patient and the associated method. A single cable (12) connects the simulator unit to the patient monitor (15). This cable both provides power (12a) to the stimulator unit, as well as 2-way data communication (12b, 12c) between the stimulator unit and the patient monitor. The patient monitor provides the user interface for the present invention, as well as other parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure.
