In an email from Jan Davies, the donor noted: “I used both items in the Department of Anesthesia at the Foothills Medical Centre. I would have used the nerve stimulator between 1984 and about 1986-7. By that time, nerve stimulators were generally being used with much more regularity and the Department had purchased nerve stimulators that could be clamped to an IV pole, with one for each room.” Dans un courriel de Jan Davies, la donatrice a indiqué : "J'ai utilisé les deux appareils dans le département d'anesthésie du Foothills Medical Centre. J'aurais utilisé le stimulateur nerveux entre 1984 et 1986-7 environ. À cette époque, les stimulateurs nerveux étaient généralement utilisés de manière beaucoup plus régulière et le département avait acheté des stimulateurs nerveux qui pouvaient être fixés à une perche à perfusion, à raison d'un par chambre". - Function
-
Used to power a nerve stimulator meant to assess the degree of muscle relaxation after a patient had been given a drug like curare. Utilisé pour alimenter un stimulateur nerveux destiné à évaluer le degré de relaxation musculaire après l'administration à un patient d'un médicament tel que le curare. - Technical
-
In 1987, The Guidelines to the Practice of Anaesthesia as Recommended by the Canadian Anaesthetists' Society stated that a Peripheral Nerve Stimulator was a "basic" piece of equipment that was not a "requirement" (i.e., in each Operating Room) but should be "immediately available" (i.e., from a central supply area in the OR Suite).” By assessing the depth of neuromuscular blockade, peripheral nerve stimulation can ensure proper medication dosing and thus decrease the incidence of side effects. En 1987, les Directives pour la pratique de l'anesthésie recommandées par la Société canadienne des anesthésistes indiquaient qu'un stimulateur nerveux périphérique était un équipement "de base" qui n'était pas "obligatoire" (c'est-à-dire dans chaque salle d'opération) mais qui devait être "immédiatement disponible" (c'est-à-dire à partir d'une zone d'approvisionnement centrale dans la salle d'opération)". En évaluant la profondeur du blocage neuromusculaire, la stimulation nerveuse périphérique peut garantir un dosage correct des médicaments et réduire ainsi l'incidence des effets secondaires. - Area Notes
