Estimulador automático de nervos em auxílio à realização de bloqueios de plexos nervosos

TL;DRAbstract

In the last decades, the use of peripheral nerve stimulators has been broadcast among anesthesiologists. This equipment help placing the needle with greater accuracy in the peripheral block, reducing the risk of nerve damage to the nerves, improving the quality of peripheral nerve blocks and minimizing the need for additional doses of anesthetics. However, current equipment requires the user to manually adjust the intensity of the stimulus. Thus, in most cases, the doctor needs help from other professional. This study aims to evaluate the clinical applicability of an automated peripheral nerve stimulator, giving full autonomy to the anesthesiologist, enabling him or her, even alone, to perform all procedures, with the help of the stimulator, without difficulty. The developed device automatically adjusts the levels of current through a feedback system via accelerometry, allowing the anesthesiologist to worry only about needle insertion. For ease of use by the medical staff, the informat
