摘要:
A system (10) for performing somatosensory evoked potential monitoring during surgery comprises a stimulator (22) to deliver an electrical stimulation signal to a peripheral nerve, a sensor (24) to detect somatosensory responses evoked by the stimulation signal and a control unit (12) communicating with the stimulator and the sensor. The control unit is configured to direct transmission of the stimulation signal and receive the response data from the sensor. In addition, the control unit is configured to optimize signal parameters of the stimulation signal based on the response data, assess spinal cord health by identifying a relationship between the response to a first stimulation and to a second stimulation, the relationship being at least one of a change in latency and a change in amplitude between the first and second responses. The control unit is also configured to communicate the assessment to a user.
摘要:
Methods are provided for planning, performing, and assessing of surgical correction to the spine during a spinal surgical procedure. These methods are implemented by a control unit through a GUI to digitize screw locations, digitize anatomical reference points, accept one or more correction inputs, and generate one or more rod solution outputs shaped to engage the screws at locations distinct from the originally digitized locations.
摘要:
The present invention involves a system and methods for assessing the state of the neuromuscular pathway to ensure further nerve tests aimed at detecting at least one of a breach in a pedicle wall, nerve proximity, nerve direction, and nerve pathology, are not conducted when neuromuscular blockade levels may decrease the reliability of the results.
