The idea is to make quantitative train-of- four monitoring as accessible as monitoring blood pressure or oxygen saturation. The touchscreen monitor displays real-time TOF count, TOF ratios and post-tetanic count, along with a time plot of the patient's recovery over the duration of the case. The company says the system's real-time data lets clinicians make more informed, rational, cost-effective decisions on drug dosages and reversal timing. To connect to the patient, a single-patient- use electrode array attaches to an extremity. Because no physical motion of the monitored site is required, TwitchView functions reliably regardless of patient positioning, even when the arms are tucked, which is a problem when using acceleromyography. It comes with a pole mount and can connect to your facility's EMR. Mdoloris Medical Systems HFVI Monitor mdoloris-inc.us This heart rate variability monitoring device can be used for any type of sur- gery. Its built-in algorithm is said to help anesthesiologists evaluate the high frequency component of heart rate variability in all types of patients, unconscious or conscious. The device calculates an index by obtaining a series of RR time intervals from the patient's ECG signal, filtering them in real time. Then it re-samples the series and isolates it in a temporary window, where it is normalized. All of that informa-
