31
Q
A

32
Q

ICU patient has this EEG, what is causing it?

A

Triphasic waves: most commonly metabolic encephalopathy (liver / kidney failure) btu can see in other toxic / metabolic Conditions

33
Q
A

Triphasic waves, posterior-to-anterior lag

34
Q

ICU patient
what is this?
What do we think causes it?
What does this significy

A
  • Medium-to-high-voltages 1-3 Hz delta
  • Pyramidal neurons in cortical layers II, III, and V.
  • poor prognosis.
35
Q

What is this?

What are 5 other causes

A

GPEDS
- most caused following cerebral anoxia after cardiorespiratory arrest
- 5 other causes
- Severe metabolic disease
- Overdoses of Lithium
- Overdoses of Baclofen
- CJD
- Later stages of Subacute sclerosis encephalitis (SSPE)

36
Q
A

Bust-suppression pattern

37
Q

Brain-death criteria based on EEG (ACNS) 11 + 1

A
  1. Minimum 8 scalp electrodes + earlobe references
  2. Electrode Impedance between 100 - 10,000 ohms
  3. Interelectrode distance > 10 cm
  4. Sensitivity of 2 uV/mm
  5. time-scale 0.3-0.4 seconds
  6. Integrety of whole system tested
  7. “monitoring techniques should be kept in mind”
  8. Reactivity to pain and loud sound must be checked
  9. Assessment of adequate core body temperature
  10. Recording should last for 30 minutes
  11. Electroencephalographers should read EEG at bedside and are advised to repeat the following day if they suspect electrocerebral silence.
  12. No sedating medications on board

2 - Fp1/Fp2 negative corneal deflections (downward eye movement)
3 - F7 positive, F8 negative (looking left)
4 - F8 positive, F7 negative (looking right)

46
Q

- % of patients with epilepsy who have photosensitive seizures
- Male vs female prominence
- peak age at onset

A
  • 5%
  • 2/3 of patients are females
  • Peak age of onset: 12-13 years
47
Q

Define Photosensitivity regarding EEG

A
  • generalized or occipital spike-wave or polyspike-waves which are highly correlate with clinical photosensitivity (90%)
48
Q

Discharges in sleep.
- When are they most likely?
- When are they least likely?

A
  • Most likely in N3 sleep
  • Least Likely in REM
49
Q

EEG Buzzwords:
- Bitemporal, independent period discharges
- Periodic, every 0.1-1 second
- Periodic, every 2-4 seconds
- Periodic, every 4-15 seconds

A
  • Bitemporal, independent period discharges: Limbic encephalitis / HSV
  • Periodic, every 0.1-1 second: CJD
  • Periodic, every 2-4 seconds: HSV encephalitis
  • Periodic, every 4-15 seconds: SSPE
50
Q

Discharges in sleep:
Longest trains of Generalized spike-and-wave discharges are seen in _____, then ______.

A

N1 sleep (then N2)

51
Q

Focal epilepsies in sleep:
- Stage of sleep focal seizures are most likely to occur
- Stage of sleep focal dischargs are most likely to occur

A
  • Focal seizures most likely to occur in light sleep
