Deep brain stimulation can cause ECG artifacts when monopolar settings are used. These artifacts are not present with bipolar settings or when the DBS is turned 'off'. Knowledge of …

2003年4月26日 · Deep brain and spinal-cord stimulation devices are being used increasingly in the management of advanced Parkinson's disease and chronic pain syndromes refractory to …

Objectives: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is known to interfere with electrocardiographic (ECG) examinations. In emergency situations, such electrical interferences can not only thwart ECG …

When exposed to strong electrical fields, the deep brain stimulator system can carry unintended electrical energy capable of causing brain injury even if the system is turned off. It is important …

2014年12月2日 · Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is increasingly used to treat a variety of neurological conditions (e.g. movement disorders and chronic pain). This prospective study …

A DBS is an implant which sends electrical pulses to specific areas of the brain that have been affected by a disease process, therapeutically targeting a patient’s symptoms (eg, tremor in …

Electromagnetic interference from deep brain stimulators (DBS) is known to cause high-frequency artifact on some forms of cardiac telemetry. 1 Here, we (1) present a unique case in which a …

2016年5月26日 · In the case of bilateral DBS, unilateral inactivation of one of the two stimulators may allow for sufficient ECG quality, while limiting tremor. For longer interruptions (e.g. during …

In this series, we examined the ECG of twelve patients. Six had monopolar stimulation and six had bipolar stimulation. Two ECGs were taken for each patient: the first with the DBS turned …

2006年1月24日 · As the population of patients treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) grows and the patients age, more will require routine or emergent electrophysiologic tests. DBS …
