Are electrocardiogram electrodes acceptable for electroencephalogram bispectral index monitoring?
Low skin-electrode impedances indicating reliable skin-electrode contact can be ensured with inexpensive pregelled ECG electrodes only if the skin is carefully prepared with both abrasion paste and alcohol. When only alcohol pretreatment of skin is used, the BIS values collected with EEG electrodes and ECG electrodes are not equal. EEG-BIS monitoring with pregelled ECG electrodes is recommended only if skin is prepared with abrasion paste before attaching the electrodes.
These results demonstrate that BMP2 gene transduction provides an effective method to enhance the osteogenic potential of USCs.
