activation techniques Flashcards
photic light
12 inches from eyes
photic stim useful when there is a
family history
Absence seizure
hyperventilation
hyperventilation
hypocapnia
avoid activations
intracranial hemorrahge
subharmonic photic driving response
half the frequency of the strobe or flash
photoparoxysmal
considered abnormal
photoparoxysmal
EEG response to light, spike/wave, and intermittent slowing
EEG response to photic stim
Gen spike and wave continuing after the flash - photoparoxysmal
Asymmetrical driving response
common finding
seizure activity stimulated at
15-18 Hz
Atypical photic response
delta driving
to evaluate temporal lobe epilepsy
sleep
photic induced epilept discharges
Barbituates
Moyamoya
build-up of HV response after completion
patient with photic driving response may also see
lambda
sickle cell anemia/trait
contraindication
complex partial seizure
seen best in sleep
photic driving seen at
9-13 Hz
eyes closed, relaxed and wakeful
no change in PDR
