請問在一篇paper的內容提到phrenic nerve conduction study中 一有提到如下面一段: The active and reference surface Ag/AgCl disc electrodes were used to record the phrenic nerve compound action potential (CMAP) using the modified MACLEAN and MATTIONI [12] technique. The active electrode was placed on the xiphoid process, the reference electrode was placed on the ipsilateral eighth intercostal space at the costocondral junction and the ground electrode was placed on the sternum (Medelec, Oxford, UK). The phrenic nerve was stimulated at a supramaximal voltage by pressing deeply along the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the level of the cricoid cartilage. The supramaximal stimulus consisted of a single square pulse (intensity 10 V; duration 0.5 ms). At regular intervals it was ensured that stimulation voltage remained supramaximal. The recorded signals were then rectified and electrically integrated. The sampling rate was chosen as 20,000 samples?s-1. The amplitude from the baseline to the negative peak, the duration and the latency of CMAP were measured. 我主要想問的是為什麼要有active electrode, reference electrode, ground electrode?他們的作用是什麼?而且為什麼內容中The phrenic nerve was stimul\ ated at a supramaximal voltage by pressing deeply along the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the level of the cricoid cartilage 是什麼意思?? 請各位大大幫我解答~~感激不盡!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.222.243.182
