Recent advance in technology has developed a lot of new aspects of clinical monitoring. We can monitor sedation levels during anesthesia using various electroencephalographic (EEG) indices, while it is still not useful for anesthesia depth monitoring. Some attempts are made to monitor the changes in sympathetic nerve activity as one of the indicators of stress, pain/analgesia, or anesthesia. To...

The paper presents the development of prototype system for measurement of vital functions using the transthoracic bioimpedance. The measurement of the bioimpedance is a non-invasive method providing the information about the body composition, hearth rate, blood flow, breathing etc. The design and realization of a simple four electrode system have been done. The device is designed as a combinati...

According to the New English Dictionary, to monitor means to give warning of impending danger. Fundamentally monitoring techniques in anaesthesia serve three main purposes. First they protect the patient by ensuring that the anaesthetist is made aware of any disturbance in physiological patterns beyond acceptable limits. Secondly, the pattern of the patient's response to the effects of anaesthe...

The Tyndall-DMS-Mote is a wireless sensor device that can monitor patient vital signs non-intrusively within and outside their home. Patient real-time vital sign readings (dynamic data) and archived records (static data) need to be managed, correlated and analysed in a cohesive manner to produce effective results. The Data Management System (DMS) has been developed to intelligently manage this ...

Embedded system is becoming an integral part of Engineering design process for efficient analysis and effective operation. From data analysis to hardware work, everywhere embedded products are the main interest because of its reliability and time bound perfection. There is not much time with anyone now a day to give enough in all aspects, so demand of embedded products which serve as we want is...
