Emergency Brain Monitor with Telemetry

描述(申请人提供)：拟议的计划旨在为大脑提供我们几十年来一直在为心脏做的事情。我们将设计一种先进的设备，使用21世纪的技术来监测大脑(EEG)，带有一个小型、轻便的无线监视器。它可以在急诊室、院前环境或医院的任何地方使用，包括手术室和ICU。遥测技术使病人可以自由活动。 在仍被监视的情况下自由进行。局域网和互联网连接使神经科医生能够从世界任何地方读取脑电。FDA批准的无线EEC设备将升级为新的软件和电极束，用于范德比尔特大学和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的急诊科。这些设备将在教育署和一个 将开发下一代设备。将特别注意设计功能，以便于在ED环境中使用。患者测试将确定在急诊室精神状态改变的患者中没有惊厥发作的患病率。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program is meant to provide for the brain what we have been doing for the heart for decades. We will design an advanced device using 21st century technology to monitor the brain (EEG) with a small lightweight wireless, monitor. It can be used in the emergency room, in a prehospital setting, or anywhere in the hospital, including the OR and ICU. The telemetry allows the patient to be untethered and moved about freely while still being monitored. LAN and Internet connections allow a neurologist to be able to read the EEGs from anywhere in the world. FDA approved wireless EEC equipment will be upgraded with new software and electrode harnesses for use in Emergency Departments at Vanderbilt and the University of Illinois, Chicago. The devices will be tested in the ED and a next generation device will be developed. Special attention will be given to design features to allow easy use in the ED environment. The patient testing will be to determine the prevalence of no convulsive seizures of patients with altered mental status in the ED.
