Thomas Jefferson University Receives CNS Monitors |
|
|
|
In June 2012, Thomas Jefferson University took delivery of eight CNS Monitors. Once installation is complete, Jefferson will have the largest network of these advanced brain monitoring systems on the East Coast. The mobile CNS Monitors will be used in the neuro ICU to monitor and view EEG data alongside measurements from their Philips Intellivue and Integra Licox monitors. The CNS Monitors are the first installment of Jefferson's customized Component Neuromonitoring System, a collection of technologies that provide multimodal monitoring for neurocritical care. Integrated data from the CNS Monitors will be reviewed remotely using Persyst software and saved to a server so the information can be used in research projects.
Drs. Rodney Bell and Jack Jallo were among the proponents of implementing a multimodal monitoring system at Jefferson. They hope to enhance the care of their patients using multimodal monitoring to provide a more comprehensive view of brain health. The doctors coordinated with intensivists, nurses, IT, and biomed to prepare for the new equipment. CNS Technology looks forward to implementing the Component Neuromonitoring System at Jefferson and working alongside the staff to continue to enhance patient care.
This story will continue with updates on the Component Neuromonitoring System at Jefferson in later editions of The Neuroscience Monitor and at www.cnstechnology.com.

The Spectrum of Neurotrauma |
|
|
|
This year's National Neurotrauma Society meeting, themed "The Spectrum of Neurotrauma," spotlights several diverse but interrelated topics within neurotrauma. The program offers information on understudied subtopics, such as pediatric TBI, and recent areas of interest, like blast brain injury. CNS Technology's president, Dick Moberg, will attend alongside colleagues from Hemedex, Inc. to illustrate the impact of multimodal monitoring following traumatic brain injury. With a wide variety of subjects presented by speakers from around the world, there will be something for everyone at Neurotrauma 2012. We hope to see you all in Phoenix, July 22-25 at the event!

CNS Technology's Multimodal Monitor featured in The Neuro ICU Book |
|
The CNS Monitor was recently featured in The Neuro ICU Book (2012), edited by Kiwon Lee, MD, FACP, FAHA, FCCM. The publication guides intensivists, medical students, and nurses through an evidence-based standardization of the developing field of neurocritical care.
A chapter on Neurophysiologic Decision Support Systems, authored by Michael J. Schmidt, PhD, covers solutions for the collection and integration of neurophysiologic data, including practical advice on implementation. Schmidt explains that

systems like the CNS Monitor offer advantages by providing continuous EEG monitoring, data integration, optional mobility, and inherent software for analysis and visualization.
The CNS Monitor conveniently provides “all-in-one electroencephalographic and neuromonitoring solutions" (p. 317). Schmidt postures that cart-based solutions such as the CNS Monitor are the "quickest path to implementing a live [clinical decision support] system in the ICU" (p. 317).
Schmidt tactfully addresses regulatory and IT concerns, recommending early involvement of IT professionals for successful implementation of any clinical decision support system. While the passage offers practical advice, the author is also quick to point out many unanswered questions regarding neurocritical care decision support. Clearly, these systems are the future of the Neuro ICU, but Schmidt leaves it up to the readers to decide what sort of future they envision. |
