Masimo SedLine Brain Function Monitoring Module

Why integrate Masimo’s SedLine EEG System into your IntelliVue monitors in the OR and ICU? So you can better evaluate that your sedated patients are receiving the correct amount of anesthesia. Too much anesthesia can trigger post-op nausea, discomfort, permanent injury, or worse. Too little can result in waking up early, potentially leading to recurring visions of a recent surgical procedure, PTSD, and litigation. Masimo SedLine offers continuous analysis of your patient’s EEG to better determine the depth of sedation.

With four simultaneous channels of EEG waveforms, the Masimo SedLine module enables bilateral EEG monitoring. It compares the left and right side of the frontal and pre-frontal cortices of the brain to generate a processed EEG parameter, the Patient State Index (PSI). This proprietary EEG variable analyzes the effect of anesthetic agents such as Alfentanil, Desflurane, Fentanyl, Isoflurane, Nitrous Oxide, Propofol, Remifentanil, and Sevoflurane. Other SedLine measurements include Electromyography, Suppression Ratio, Artifact, Spectral Edge Frequency, and Asymmetry monitoring to quantify the difference in the brain activity between the left and right hemispheres.

Looking to generate a more thorough assessment of your patients? Use Masimo SedLine EEG and Masimo O3 regional oximetry sensors at the same time to produce an in-depth picture of brain function via select Philips IntelliVue monitors. SedLine uses bilateral data acquisition and processing of EEG signals for timely, accurate monitoring of the effects of anesthetic agents. While the O3 Oximetry System helps you to monitor cerebral oxygenation when pulse oximetry may not be fully indicative of oxygen in the brain.¹
