Cerebral Monitor for Neonatal Intensive Care

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 15 Dec 2003
A monitor that measures cerebral function by brain tracing is designed for use in the neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) and other acute care departments.

Adding brain tracing to a patient's standard assessment helps clinicians to better diagnose and treat patients, states Olympic Medical (Seattle, WA, USA), which developed the monitor. More...
Called Olympic CFM, the monitor can help doctors to identify and treat seizures, provide a continuous record of brain activity, improve the accuracy of newborn neurologic exams, help to identify hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), monitor the effects of drugs on the brain, and determine the need for further neurologic examination or transport.

"In addition to using the Olympic CFM to identify infants at risk for HIE and to identify the presence of seizures, I use the device to help evaluate the progress of patients recovering from conditions and procedures that can adversely affect the brain,” said Dr. Jan E. Paisley, neonatologist at The Children's Hospital and University Hospital in Denver (CO, USA).
