Abstract:
Entropy is a basic concept of physics, with analogues in communication theory and other fields. We review applications of entropy in medical research, under the Entropy measurement is to be used as an adjunct to other physiological parameters. With Entropy used together with other monitored parameters, such as the hemodynamic measurements and NMT, you can get a complete picture of the patient status combined on one screen. Entropy is a measure of irregularity in any signal. The Entropy Module measures these changes by quantifying the irregularity of EEG and FEMG signals. Titration of anesthetics to Entropy Guideline should be done in context of patient status and treatment plan. In the current paper we describe uses of entropy in medical research
