Abstract:
The primary aim of the Improved Monitoring for Brain Dysfunction during Intensive Care and Surgery (IBIS) project was to create a unique and comprehensively annotated data library (DL) of multiple physiological, including neurophysiological, signals. Data collection was undertaken in Kuopio, Finland and London, UK, and comparable protocols were used at all the sites. In London, 43 patients were recruited at the Royal Brompton Hospital, followed by nine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, all of whom underwent cardiac or combined cardiac and carotid artery surgery. Thirty-seven patients underwent a single operation, while 15 underwent two procedures. The protocols and equipment used, problems specific to the electrically hostile environment and preliminary results are described, including those of clinical interest. The DL is being used for the development of clinically applicable neurophysiological monitoring tools.
