Electroencephalogram In Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Results: 35 EEG were analyzed in 29 patients. Of these patients, 17-58.6% were male and 12-41.4% were female. In our study we found that the cerebrovascular accident was the clinical condition most often observed, corresponding to 28.5% (brain hemorrhagic stroke -17.1% and ischemic stroke -11.4%), followed by traumatic brain injury (17.1%), severe sepsis (17.1%), other causes (14.3%), toxic-metabolic encephalopathy (11.4%), and Status epilepticus (11.4%). Coma was present in (11.4%) and only 2.9% had EEG to assess post-PCR. We found a disorganized background activity (35 -100%), the asymmetrical pattern is found in 21 (60%) and symmetrical in 14 (40%) The presence of epileptiform discharges was identified in 12 (34.2%). A change of therapy occurred in 8 (22.9%) patients who underwent electroencephalographic examination. Conclusion:We note that the indications responsible for electroencephalographic monitoring on the edge of the bed were frequently

Measurements of coherence in eeg signal in brazilian people: a comparison of different consciousness states

“…Patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) need special care because they are vulnerable to several neurological pathologies, which can result in severe neural deficiencies (Herman et al 2015). The electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring at ICU may improve visual perceptions of the signal abnormal morphology of the signal (Ebersole and Pedley 2003;Schomer and Silva 2011), for example at non-convulsive epileptic phenomena, allowing rapid medical interventions and improving the treatment of such patients (Vespa 2005;Cavalcanti et al 2016).…”

Caracterização do eletroencefalograma normal em situação de vigília: elaboração da base de dados e análise quantitativa

“…Apesar das diferente técnicas de neuroimagem estrutural, a eletroencefalografia (EEG) ainda é o exame funcional neurológico mais utilizado (Quinonez, 1998) (Cavalcanti et al, 2016;Vespa, 2005).…”
