ECG/respiration monitor calibrator.

This paper describes an ECG/Respiration monitor calibrator used by the Biomedical Staff to check such units quickly, inexpensively and accurately. The calibrator can be constructed by the Biomedical Engineering Staff in one day for a parts cost of less than fifty dollars. Once the calibrator is connected to the patient cable of an ECG/Respiration monitor, the calibrator will generate concurrently a calibrated rate and amplitude ECG-pulse and respiration waveform.

Stereotactic localization (with computerized tomographic scanning), biopsy, and radiofrequency treatment of deep brain lesions.

In eight patients stereotactic biopsy of deep brain lesions was performed. Adequate tissue was obtained, and the information helped considerably in planning further therapy. No significant complications occurred in these patients. In three of the cases, the stereotactic coordinates were determined from the computerized tomographic (CT) scan. In one patient, after biopsy, stereotactic radiofrequency (RF) lesions in the tumor resulted in temporary improvement.
