Entropy
WARNING
Ensure that the sensor is placed on the patient’s forehead
according to the instructions. Placing the sensor in a way
other than instructed might result in risks during patient
defibrillation.
Entropy cautions
CAUTION
Strong 30-40 Hz magnetic fields may cause erroneous
Entropy measurement. Do not use devices with such a field
close to the module or sensor.
CAUTION
Diathermy and external interference may degrade the
performance.
CAUTION
The Entropy measurement is always to be used only as an
adjunct to other physiological parameters. Clinicians are
advised to use their knowledge and experience when making
clinical judgements. Entropy values are not to be used as sole
indicators of the patient status.
CAUTION
Check the sensor expiration date on the sensor package. Do
not use expired sensors.
CAUTION
Do not use a sensor for more than 24 hours.
CAUTION
Long-term use of the electrodes may degrade condition of the
skin especially on patients with liver diseases.
CAUTION
Automatic sensor check may need to be disabled if the 70
Hz impedance check signal interferes with other equipment,
such as EEG module with evoked potentials measurement.
CAUTION
Allow the cable to dry completely after cleaning. Moisture and
dirt on the connector can affect the measurement accuracy.
Entropy indications for use
The GE Healthcare Entropy module, E-ENTROPY, and accessories are indicated for
adult and pediatric patients older than 2 years within a hospital for monitoring the
state of the brain by data acquisition of electroencephalograph (EEG) and frontal
electromyograph (FEMG) signals. The spectral entropies, Response Entropy (RE) and
State Entropy (SE), are processed EEG and FEMG variables. The Entropy measurement
is to be used as an adjunct to other physiological parameters.
In adult patients, Response Entropy (RE) and State Entropy (SE) may be used as an aid
in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents, which may help the user titrate
anesthetic drugs according to the individual needs of adult patients. Furthermore
in adults, the use of Entropy parameters may be associated with a reduction of
anesthetic use and faster emergence from anesthesia.
The Entropy module is indicated for use by qualified medical personnel only.
Entropy measurement limitations
●
This measurement is available in OR and PACU software packages only.
