Description
Un examen de electroconducción consiste en la medición de la velocidad de respuesta de los nerviosperiféricos, ante un estimulo eléctrico de alto voltaje y corto duración. La respuesta a este estimulopuede ser un potencial de acción nervioso sensitivo compuesto o potencial de acción nervioso motorcompuesto. Es asíquepara realizar un estudio de electroconduccián es necesario registrary visualizareste tipo de potenciales de acción.
El NCV2003 es un dispositivo diseñado para este propósito,contiene un estimulador, un sensor de temperatura y un sistema de adquisición de señales. La señalcapturada se digitaliza con una resolución de 16 bits Y es llevada a un computador que visualizaresultados como la temperatura, la latencia, amplitudy velocidadde conducción nerviosa delpaciente.Con los resultados obtenidos, se genera un reporte con el cual el especialista que está realizando elestudio, puede realizar con facilidad un diagnostico del paciente.
An examination of electroconduction consists of the measurement of the speed of response of the peripheral nerves, before an electric stimulation of high voltage and short duration. The response to this stimulus may be a composite or potential sensory nerve action potential or motor potential nerve action potential. It is so to perform an electroconduction study it is necessary to register and visualize the type of action potentials. The NCV2003 is a device designed for this purpose, it contains a stimulator, a temperature sensor and a signal acquisition system. The captured signal is digitized with a resolution of 16 bits AND is taken to a computer that displays results such as temperature, latency, amplitude and speed of nerve conduction of the patient. With the results obtained, a report is generated with which the specialist who is performing the study, can easily perform a patient diagnosis.
