The authors describe a portable electromyograph (EMG) designed for use in monitoring unilateral ECT. Administration of muscle relaxants in conjunction with ECT often makes it difficult to determine that an adequate response has been elicited. The authors feel that this adaptation of the EMG provides a useful and easy means of monitoring the presence, bilateralism, and length of the seizure.
作者描述了一种设计用于监测单侧电休克治疗(ECT)的便携式肌电图仪(EMG)。在ECT治疗中同时使用肌肉松弛剂常常难以确定是否已引发足够的反应。作者认为这种对肌电图仪的改进提供了一种有用且简便的方法来监测癫痫发作的存在、双侧性及持续时间。
