Test 1 PSG Flashcards
Which of the following Usa function of a differential amplifier?
A . To record the differences in the voltages of two inputs.
B. To record the differences in the voltages of the active input and ground.
C. To record the differences in the voltages if an exploring electrode and the patient ground connection.
D. To record only identical voltage reviewed by its two inputs.
A. To record the differences in the voltages of two inputs.
If G1 receives an input of ~50uv and G2 simultaneously receives an input of + 50 uv, the signal output will equal
A. 0
B. -100uv
C. +100 uv
D. -50 uv
B. -100uv
G1-G2
- 50 - +50uv
- 50 - 50 = -100uv
If G1 receives an input of - 100 uv and G2 simultaneously receives an input of -50 uv, the output voltage will equal
A. -50 uv
B. + 50 uv
C. -150 uv
D. +150 uv
A. -50uv
G 1-G2
- 100uv - - 50uv
- 100 + 50 = -50 uv
An appropriate EEG sin setting is
A. 5uv/mm
B. 5uv/ cm
C. 50 V/ cm
D. A and C are both correct
D. A and. c are both correct
The frequency of a waveform can be altered by changing the
A. Sensitivity setting
B. Filters
C. Color
D. Paper speed
B. Filters
Changing the sensitivity setting from 20 uV / mm to 40 uV/mm will do what to the appearance of the wave?
A. Double the width of the wave
B. Cut The width of the wave in half
C. Double the height of the wave
D. Cut the height of the wave in half
D. Cut the height of the wave in half
Which of these is the best HFF setting for a respiratory channel?
A. 0.5 HZ
B. 1.0HZ
C. 5.0 HZ
D. Off
C. 5.0 HZ
Which of the following is best solution for disinfecting electrodes? A bleach B antibacterial soap C acetone D alcohol
A bleach
3) in addition to EEG, EOG, EMG, (submental) monitoring, what is crucial for the interpretation of a Polysomnographic recording in infants?
A. Body temperature
B. Behavior and observation
C. Physiological calibrations
D. Limb movement (EMG) channel
B. Behaviors and observation
2) the initial recording equipment calibration for Polysomnography should show
A) 50uv signal introduce to all channels regardless of filters settings
9) an alternating EEG pattern seen in full term sleeping (NREM) infants consisting of both high and low voltage activity is termed
C. Trace alternant
The minimum study duration for an accurate assessment of neonatal sleep is
B ) 2hrs and or 1 feeding
The EEG is recorded during sleep for the following reasons except:
B) to record bradycardia, extrasystoles, and or prences of a systole
19) if abnormal EEG waveforms appear during the PSG, the paper speed should be changed to?
30 mm/sec
20) why should backup recording electrodes be placed on the patient?
C. To prevent waking the patient to reapplying electrodes
