Adaptive Information Technology for Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Identification Based on Electrophysical Method of Its Stimulation

摘要

The paper represents an informational technology for recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) monitoring among the tissues of a surgical wound. The technique for applying the electrophysiological method for surgery wound tissue stimulation is described in detail as well as an assessment of the reaction on this stimulation. The main principles for adapting the parameters of this method to the specific patient are outlined. To estimate the reaction on the stimulation and define the distance from the stimulation point to its closest placement point, the spectral analysis of the informational signal is used. The approbation results of the applied technique during the thyroid surgery are described
