摘要:

Subclinical rhythmic EEG discharge of adults (SREDA) is an unusual rhythmic EEG pattern seen in adults. We present the findings in 23 cases of this pattern and compare this group of patients with the earlier group of 65 patients reported by Westmoreland and Klass in 1981. The findings in both groups were similar with regard to age distribution, morphology, type of onset and location of the discharge. Some additional variations, however, were noted in the present study, including location of the discharges and type of onset. As previously noted, the SREDA pattern was seen in patients with diverse complaints and showed no relationship to seizure disorders, cerebrovascular disease, or other specific disease entities. Therefore, the pattern should be considered as a nonspecific finding that is of little diagnostic significance.

摘要:

The study attempted to quantify the degree of human variance to high dose thiopental therapy induced for cerebral protection. The study included 137 patients (subjects) with data analysis performed on 110 subjects. Means and ranges were calculated for age, weight, dosage, time, and rates of infusion. Theoretical data was calculated for all subjects from their weight and infusion times, using a published protocol. Comparisons of differences, correlative measures, and predictability of the data were discussed. No predictability was found in the data other than length of time required for infusion of thiopental, and the amount of thiopental infused. This was found to be linear for times under 100 minutes and logarithmic over 100 minutes. Monitoring of EEG/CSA was found to be more practical for indicating neuroelectro-cortical suppression than a set of protocol of thiopental infusion.

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Recent attention has been directed to midline electrographic abnormalities and clinical correlates in both children and adults. These reports have described ictal or interictal epileptiform abnormalities. The present discussion deals with midline EEG findings exclusively in either premature or full-term newborns. Four uses of midline electrodes will be illustrated. These features include developmental patterns, epileptiform features, background attenuation, and biologic artifacts. Valuable electrographic information can be obtained by including midline electrodes with 16 or more EEG channels for neonatal recordings.

摘要:

ABSTRACT.Portable EEG recordings in the neonatal intensive care unit demand both technical proficiency and accurate interpretation. Attention must be directed towards the polygraphic as well as electrographic portion for the proper identification of sleep state as well as abnormal behavior including seizure states. Both physiologic and nonphysiologic artifacts must be rapidly identified since they may interfere with the interpretation of the genuine cerebral activity. Physiologic artifacts are particularly challenging because an accurate technical description can also assist the electroencephalographer in the correlation of neonatal neurological disorders. A variety of physiologic artifacts will be discussed, including facial, head, body, and autonomic types, which illustrate normal as well as abnormal newborn behavior.
