NicoletOne Monitor ICU

MONITOR ICU

The feasibility and clinical effectiveness of brain function monitoring with EEG in the ICU has now been recognized. Throughout the years, availability and complexity of EEG systems have been the main obstacles in this field. NicoletOne Monitor is specifically designed with the challenges of this environment in mind.

NicoletOne Monitor extracts useful information from the EEG traces for easy interpretation by ICU staff and neurologists, allowing them to get instant access to the underlying EEG by a click on the screen. The unpredictability of the condition of ICU patients calls for continuous monitoring of EEG. NicoletOne Monitor is a cost effective, easy to use, sophisticated EEG system, fully compatible with the NicoletOne line to increase the quality of patient care.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS IN THE ICU

Seizure activity

Status Epilepticus

Burst suppression

Sleep cycles

Vasospasm

Neonatal

Emergency Room

BURST SUPPRESSION

Doctors have been counting bursts per minute and interburst intervals on paper EEG for years. Number of bursts per minute has been associated to level of consciousness due to head trauma or drugs. This pattern and sedation titration can be monitored with burst suppression parameters of NicoletOne Monitor system. These parameters are:

• Bursts: Number of bursts per minute
• Suppression: Percentage of suppressed EEG within the last minute
• Interburst Interval: Measures the time between bursts

ADULT ICU MONITORING

The Envelope reflects the amplitude in the EEG but is less sensitive to movement artifacts than other amplitude reflecting trends. It is uncomplicated and highly effective, suitable for various applications, but ideal to monitor for epileptic activity.

The Spectrogram displays the frequency and amplitude content of the EEG. Power is reflected with color codes and frequency distribution on a scale on the y-axis. The Spectrogram is useful for seizure monitoring (amplitude) and sleep/wake cycling of the comatose patient (frequency changes).
