Development of Intraoperative Monitoring Electroenchephalography (EEG)
Designed and Assembled by Indonesian Neuroscientist-Engineers: Preliminary Study
for Detection of Brain Wave Pattern in Mouse Model
Abstract–Objective: As neurosurgeons, we require additional medical diagnostic devices to treat vascular diseases such as stroke and trauma; unfortunately, most of these devices are costly and are of foreign manufacture. This study was aimed to design and develop locally produced medical devices that will lower medical cost and expenses for neurosurgery patients. Technology or Method: The development of these devices will be performed in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratories of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). The animal trial phase will be conducted in the Microanatomy Laboratory of the Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran–Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. Results: Our prototype validated using the brain waves of animal models, that shown normal brain wave in all region and decreased significantly after 30 minutes sacrificed; further, shown near flat-wave after 6 hours sacrificed. Conclusions: These devices and their operating systems will require further development, and the further optimization of the algorithm for interpretation of Electroenchephalography (EEG) waves will be required before these devices can be mass-produced to be used in neurosurgical patients. Clinical Impact: This study is a translational research that bridging the basic science and its potential clinical implementation.
