Evaluation of perioperative peripheral nerve injuries using the Neurometer

不仅硬膜外镇痛和周围神经阻滞用于围术期疼痛控制，而且足泵用于预防静脉血栓栓塞症也可能导致周围神经损伤。为了揭示导致周围神经损伤的危险因素，我决定使用Neuroeter对这些周围神经损伤进行调查。然而，围术期周围神经损伤似乎并不常见，这项研究需要收集大量数据。另一方面，神经计的一系列测量大约需要10分钟。对于海量数据的收集，我需要减少测量时间。我假设Painvision可以用来缩短测量时间。在这项研究中，结果表明，可以用Painvision代替神经计来测量A-β和A-三角洲神经纤维的功能。换句话说，我发现了一种非常有用的神经功能测量方法。

Not only epidural analgesia and peripheral nerve block for perioperative pain control but also foot pumps in prevention of venous thromboembolism can lead to peripheral nerve injuries. In order to reveal the risk factors that can lead to the peripheral nerve injuries, I decided to investigate these peripheral nerve injuries using the Neurometer. However, perioperative peripheral nerve injuries seems to be not common, enormous data collection was needed for the study. On the other hand, the Neurometer needs about ten minutes for a series of measurements. For the collection of enormous data, I need to reduce the measurement time. I hypothesized that the Painvision can be used to reduce the measurement time. In this study, the results suggest that the functions of the A-beta and the A-delta nerve fibers can be measured using the Painvision instead of the Neurometer. In other words, I discovered a very useful method for the measurements of the neurological function.
