For Medical Professionals
C-Trend makes EEG revision more efficient for the experienced user and more friendly for a new one.
It is possible to better understand, and act faster, on potentially brain-threatening changes in EEG waveforms.
Monitoring can be started within minutes, and healthcare professionals can have access to continuous EEG that gives them valuable information and helps them in decision making.
All C-Trend parameters are calculated and trended continuously, even for several days. When evaluating a patient’s status, the clinician can browse the trends and review the EEG waveforms for any desired time period in the trend history.
Many intensive care units experience significant delays in setting up EEG recording for patients potentially at risk. There are often further delays in consulting a specialist to interpret the raw data. As a result, many intensivists in acute care find themselves lacking the support they need for decision-making at critical moments. Even potentially severe brain insults may go unnoticed without real-time EEG monitoring and dynamic interpretation.
C-Trend is designed to change this.
These patients include cardiac arrest survivors, those at risk of epileptic seizures and potentially all patients where brain hypoxia is suspected, in other words a significant number of all patients admitted to intensive care.
EEG signal has inherently low amplitude and is prone to artifact, therefore clinicians need to interpret and validate C-Trend, as any qEEG index parameter, visually in the context of the EEG waveform.
