Smart Portable Pen for Continuous Monitoring of Anaesthetics in Human Serum With Machine Learning

Sandro Carrara, Mandresy Ivan Ny Hanitra, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa

Continuous monitoring of anaesthetics infusion is demanded by anaesthesiologists to help in defining personalized dose, hence reducing risks and side effects. We propose the first piece of technology tailored explicitly to close the loop between anaesthesi ...

Enhancing analgesic spinal cord stimulation for chronic pain with personalized immersive virtual reality

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Marco Solcà, Robin Mange, Pavo Orepic

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an approved treatment for truncal and limb neuropathic pain. However, pain relief is often suboptimal and SCS efficacy may reduce over time, requiring sometimes the addition of other pain therapies, stimulator revision, or ...

Live Demonstration: Quasi-Digital Portable Pen to Monitor Anaesthetics Delivery

Sandro Carrara, Danilo Demarchi, Simone Aiassa, Francesco Grassi

The live demonstration presents the innovative concept of a portable pen-device able to sense anaesthetic compounds over time for improved anaesthesiology practice. A custom Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manage in the event-based quasi-digital domain the sam ...

Cleaning strategy for carbon-based electrodes: Long-term propofol monitoring in human serum

Giovanni De Micheli, Giovanni Boero, Francesca Stradolini, Irene Taurino, Tugba Kilic

In this work, we present a novel electrochemical cleaning procedure for long-term electrochemical monitoring of propofol by using boron-doped diamond (BDD) and pencil graphite electrode (PGE). Propofol is an anesthetic that is widely used for long-lasting ...

IoT Bio-Electronic Multi-Panel Device for On-line Monitoring of Anaesthesia Delivery

Francesca Stradolini

After a failure of "One-Size-Fits-All" approach on traditional treatment of diseases, the age of multi-faceted personalized medicine came into being for tailoring therapy to get the best response in the highest safety margin. Personalized drug dosage is on ...

Raspberry-Pi based system for propofol monitoring

Sandro Carrara, Francesca Stradolini, Danilo Demarchi, Tugba Kilic, Abuduwaili Tuoheti

Induction of anesthesia with propofol is a largely adopted technique in hospital environments. The correct dosage of this compound is essential to avoid under- or over-anesthesia that may result in serious side-effects. Therefore, in clinical settings, lon ...

Energy metabolism in the rat cortex under thiopental anaesthesia measured

Rolf Gruetter, Nathalie Just, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Sarah Catherine Sonnay

Barbiturates, commonly used as general anaesthetics, depress neuronal activity and thus cerebral metabolism. Moreover, they are likely to disrupt the metabolic support of astrocytes to neurons, as well as the uptake of nutrients from circulation. By employ ...
