The INano peripheral nerve stimulator (APNS) helps anesthesiologists precisely locate nerves when administering regional anesthesia, using extremely accurate electrical current and automatic detection of muscle responses. However, a better way is needed to verify the anesthesia's effectiveness (i.e., no movement when a nerve is stimulated) since small responses might not be visible. This project will develop and assess an ultrasound method for measuring small muscle movements, thereby providing a directly measurable method for verify ing that the anesthesia is working. A successful system must be able to detect nonvisible muscle contractions during nerve stimulation.

INano周围神经刺激器（APNS）利用极其精确的电流和自动检测肌肉反应，帮助麻醉师在实施区域麻醉时精确定位神经。然而，需要一种更好的方法来验证麻醉的有效性（即，当神经受到刺激时没有运动），因为小的反应可能是看不见的。该项目将开发和评估一种测量小肌肉运动的超声方法，从而为验证麻醉是否有效提供一种直接可测量的方法。一个成功的系统必须能够在神经刺激过程中检测到不可见的肌肉收缩。
