71 results about "Nociception" patented technology

Nociception (also nocioception or nociperception, from Latin nocere 'to harm or hurt') is the sensory nervous system's response to certain harmful or potentially harmful stimuli. In nociception, intense chemical (e.g., chili powder in the eyes), mechanical (e.g., cutting, crushing), or thermal (heat and cold) stimulation of sensory nerve cells called nociceptors produces a signal that travels along a chain of nerve fibers via the spinal cord to the brain. Nociception triggers a variety of physiological and behavioral responses and usually results in a subjective experience of pain in sentient beings.

Determination of the anesthetic state of a patient

The invention relates to the determination of the anesthetic state of a patient. In order to achieve a mechanism that enables establishment and maintenance of balanced anesthesia, values are established for a set of diagnostic indices. The set includes at least two diagnostic indices of which a first diagnostic index is indicative of the level of hypnosis and a second diagnostic index of the level of nociception in the patient. The combination of the at least two index values obtained is employed for indicating the anesthetic state of the patient. The combination of the at least two index values may further be employed to control the administration of drugs to the patient.

Determination of the clinical state of a subject

The invention relates to the determination of the clinical state of a subject. In order to bring about an uncomplicated method for monitoring the clinical state of a subject and for accomplishing a diagnostic scale, such as a nociception scale, on which a certain reading corresponds to the same level for all patients, a normalization transform is applied to a measurement signal containing physiological data obtained from a patient, whereby a normalized measurement signal having a predetermined value range is obtained. The normalization transform is dependent on predetermined history data, such as previous signal data of said measurement signal. A diagnostic index dependent on the normalized measurement signal is then formed, the diagnostic index serving as a measure of the clinical state of the patient. The diagnostic index may be formed based on one or more normalized measurement signals.
