Software Analysis Modules

Real Time Analysis Software Modules - No Programming Required!

The Real Time Analysis capabilities of the Ponemah Physiology Platform consist of a library of pre-programmed, validated software analysis modules. The software analysis modules have been developed and proven in the life science research community for over 17 years.

Action Potential The Action Potential Analysis Module identifies common parameters such as Maximum, Minimum and Plateau voltages. User defined Recovery Points as well as rates of change are also generated by this module.	Action Potential

Blood Pressure The Blood Pressure Analysis Module can analyze pressure from the circulatory system and can derive, on a beat-to-beat basis, values for the cardiac cycle such as Systolic, Diastolic, HR, and +/-dP/dt.	Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure Respiration The Blood Pressure Respiration (BPR) Analysis Module can analyze any pressure from the circulatory system and can derive, on a beat-to-beat basis, respiration values from the cardiac cycle. In order for the BPR analysis to function properly, a BP channel needs to be configured and the BPR channel must be associated with the acquired BP channel.	Blood Pressure Respiration

Coronary Blood Flow The Coronary Blood Flow Analysis Module derives typical flow information such as Maximum and Minimum Flow, Mean, Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output. When coupled with the Left Ventricular Pressure Module, the addition of timing information from this module allows for flows and volumes to be calculated specific to the Systolic and Diastolic portions of the cardiac cycle.	Coronary Blood Flow

Electromyogram The purpose of the Electromyogram Analysis Module is to compute physiologically meaningful parameters from digitized EMG data. The analysis functions by applying a series of logical tests to the digitized EMG signal using criteria selected by the user to generate the Integral of the rectified signal as well as the Peak.	Electromyogram

Left Ventricular Pressure The Left Ventricular Pressure Analysis Module was developed to specifically analyze the left ventricular pressure from the heart. Some of the on-line derived parameters include LVEDP, HR, +/-dP/dt, Q-A interval and Tau. As with all modules, derived data can be reported in a beat-to-beat or time averaged presentation.	Left Ventricular Pressure

Electrocardiogram The Electrocardiogram and Multi Lead Analysis Modules analyze ECG complexes. Over 30 derived parameters can be calculated for every complex on a beat-to-beat basis and presented in real time while acquiring or replaying data. Examples include RR Interval, Corrected QT calculations, and a host of wave heights and cross lead comparisons.	Electrocardiogram

Pulmonary Airflow & Airway Resistance The Pulmonary Air Flow Analysis Module calculates, on a breath-to-breath basis, values for the respiratory cycle obtained from plethysmograph boxes or pneumotachs. Tidal volume, peak flows and PEnh are examples of the derived output that are available.	Pulmonary Airflow & Airway Resistance

Pulmonary Compliance & Resistance The Pulmonary Compliance and Resistance Analysis Module analyzes air flow and pressure signals to derive Compliance, Resistance and Conductance values. Additional derived output for various flows pressures and volumes are also available.	Pulmonary Compliance & Resistance

Pulsatile Tissue & Gut Motility The Pulsatile Tissue & Gut Motility Analysis Module calculates, on a contraction-to-contraction basis, derived values such as Maximum and Minimum values, Average (AUC) and Rate. Numerous other parameters can be generated in real time such as first and second derivatives.	Pulsatile Tissue & Gut Motility

Systemic Blood Flow The Systemic Blood Flow Analysis Module analyzes both coronary and systemic blood flow. Common derived parameters generated from the Systemic Blood Flow analysis include, but are not limited to, Max and Min Flow, Stroke Volume, and Cardiac Output.	Systemic Blood Flow

Unrestrained Plethysmography The Unrestrained Plethysmography Analysis Module analyzes signals obtained from free-roaming chambers. Derived values for Flow and Volume measurements, as well as PEnh, are examples of measurements performed by this module.	Unrestrained Plethysmography

Indirect Blood Pressure The Indirect Blood Pressure Analysis Module utilizes an Indirect Blood Pressure Sound channel to provide a non-invasive means of calculating Mean and Heart Rate.	Indirect Blood Pressure
