Details in Audio: Vagus Nerve Stimulators
For intractable epilepsy; sends retrograde signal up corona radiata
Also may be used in: depression, bulimia, Alzheimer, narcolepsy, addiction, and others
VNS magnets Are VNS safe in MRI? Are VNS safe in everyday life? Intrathecal PumpsUsed to infuse basal rate of drug, usually baclofen for spasticity, but pump may contain morphine, bupivicaine, clonidine. Also used for severe MS, stroke, TBI, chronic pain. Verify the medication and identify the toxidrome if symptomatic.
Ventricular Assist DevicesMay be left ventricular assist, right ventricular assist, or biventricular assist device.
