Endotracheal tube apparatus

A system, comprising:

• an endotracheal tube having an exterior surface and at least eight electrodes on the exterior surface for monitoring at least one nerve of a patient, wherein the at least eight electrodes are conductive ink electrodes that are printed directly on the exterior surface of the endotracheal tube;
• and
• a multi-channel nerve integrity monitor device configured to receive at least four channels of monitoring signals from the electrodes.

A multi-channel nerve integrity monitor device, comprising:

• at least four channels configured to receive a plurality of monitoring signals from at least eight electrodes on an endotracheal tube;
• and
• an analyzer configured to analyze the plurality of monitoring signals, and identify a subset of the plurality of monitoring signals to display based on the analysis.

A system, comprising:

• an endotracheal tube having an exterior surface and at least eight electrodes on the exterior surface for monitoring at least one nerve of a patient, wherein the endotracheal tube includes at least one tape that is stuck to the surface of the endotracheal tube and includes the at least eight electrodes;
• and
• a multi-channel nerve integrity monitor device configured to receive at least four channels of monitoring signals from the electrodes.

A system, comprising:

• an endotracheal tube having an exterior surface and at least eight electrodes on the exterior surface for monitoring at least one nerve of a patient, wherein at least one of the electrodes has a sinusoidal shape;
• and
• a multi-channel nerve integrity monitor device configured to receive at least four channels of monitoring signals from the electrodes.

A system, comprising:

• an endotracheal tube having an exterior surface and at least eight electrodes on the exterior surface for monitoring at least one nerve of a patient;
• and
• a multi-channel nerve integrity monitor device configured to receive at least four channels of monitoring signals from the electrodes, wherein the multi-channel nerve integrity monitor device includes a two-channel mode and a four-channel mode.
