Delirium

Electroencephalographic Changes in Kwashiorkor in Egypt

“…The abnormalities observed in our cases are nonspecific as similar changes have been described in other nutritional, metabolic, biochemical and degenerative brain disorders (13,14,15,16,17,18,19). However the slowing of brain frequencies might represent impairment of electrical activity of the brain cells as it disappears after treatment and clinical recovery.…”

Using Electroencephalogram Biosignal Changes for Delirium Detection in Intensive Care Units

“…20,21 Most previous studies show that delta and theta waves tended to decrease in the delirium state. In a well-known study in 1944, 13 more slow delta and theta waves were detected when delirium occurred than when delirium did not occur. [22][23][24] In another study, the findings most strongly associated with the presence of delirium were a combination of generalized theta and delta slowing.…”

Rapid Handheld Continuous Electroencephalogram (EEG) Has the Potential to Detect Delirium in Older Adults

“…31 Previous studies have suggested a distinguishable marked difference in delirium compared with normal awareness. 10,[13][14][15][16][17] Since the 1940s, reports of patterns in EEG data have indicated that delirium detection is possible. However, currently available limited lead technologies are not "tuned" for delirium screening and lack a form factor appropriate for mass screening.…”

“…The search for EEG-based delirium biomarkers has a strong history 31 . Previous studies have suggested a distinguishable marked difference in delirium compared with normal awareness 10,13-17 . Since the 1940s, reports of patterns in EEG data have indicated that delirium detection is possible.…”

“…Therefore, the emergence of low-frequency waves indicates potential occurrence of delirium on EEG. Previous research has shown that these EEG characteristics distinguish delirium from nondelirious states such as sleep, sedation, dementia, and other etiologies associated with behavioral changes 10,13-17 . When combined with the current twice-daily clinical assessments using a standardized tool, such as the CAM-ICU, EEG significantly increases accuracy to greater than 95% ( P = .003) compared with the 20% detected with the current practice using the CAM-ICU alone 18 …”
