Computer-Aided Neuromonitoring: Conditions, Techniques, and Clinical Applications
Conference paper
Abstract
To date, neurological monitoring in the intensive care unit has only been possible at relatively infrequent intervals (10). Continuous monitoring of the biosignals of the brain is not, in contrast to monitoring of the cardiac, circulatory, and respiratory systems (1), a routine measure in the ICU. This is related in part to the difficulty of recording and displaying continuous EEG and ICP data in this artifactridden environment. Continuous EEG and ICP monitoring generate an enormous amount of data. This makes long-term presentation of data with simple video screen or printed paper techniques difficult (5, 8).
