Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a sensor for monitoring the depth of consciousness of a patient. The sensor includes a plurality of light sources, light detectors, and in some embodiments, electrodes. In an embodiment, the sensor includes reusable and disposable portions.

Claims

1-22. -22. (canceled)

23. A forehead sensor package comprising:

a base;

a first stem extending perpendicular from the base, the first stem comprising a first EEG electrode and a first receiving portion configured to receive a first oxygenation sensor; and

a second stem extending perpendicular from the base and in a direction opposite from the first stem, the second stem comprising a second EEG electrode and a second receiving portion configured to receive a second oxygenation sensor.

24. The forehead sensor package of claim 23, wherein the first receiving portion comprising a first window configured to allow transmission of light.

25. The forehead sensor package of claim 23, wherein the base, the first stem, and the second stem are disposable.

26. The forehead sensor package of claim 23, wherein the first oxygenation sensor and the second oxygenation sensor is reusable.

27. The forehead sensor package of claim 23, wherein the first oxygenation sensor comprises an emitter and a detector.

28. The forehead sensor package of claim 23, wherein the first stem is substantially symmetric to the second stem.
