Unihemispheric Burst Suppression
Burst suppression (BS) consists of bursts of high-voltage slow and sharp wave activity alternating with periods of background suppression in the electroencephalogram (EEG). When induced by deep anesthesia or encephalopathy, BS is bihemispheric and is often viewed as a non-epileptic phenomenon. In contrast, unihemispheric BS is rare and its clinical significance is poorly understood. We describe...
متن کاملBurst suppression-MAC and burst suppression-CP₅₀ as measures of cerebral effects of anaesthetics.
BACKGROUND MAC (minimum alveolar concentration of an inhaled anaesthetic) and CP₅₀i (minimum plasma concentration of i.v. anaesthetics) are well-established measures to compare potencies of anaesthetics. The underlying clinical endpoint immobility reflects mainly effects of anaesthetics on the spinal cord, which limits the use of this measure for comparison of effects on the main target organ o...
متن کاملBurst suppression probability algorithms: state-space methods for tracking EEG burst suppression.
OBJECTIVE Burst suppression is an electroencephalogram pattern in which bursts of electrical activity alternate with an isoelectric state. This pattern is commonly seen in states of severely reduced brain activity such as profound general anesthesia, anoxic brain injuries, hypothermia and certain developmental disorders. Devising accurate, reliable ways to quantify burst suppression is an impor...
متن کاملVariance of interburst intervals in burst suppression.
Each EEG performed over a 3 year period at the University of Michigan with a diagnosis of generalized burst-suppression (BS) was reviewed. Ten EEGs from 10 patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE-BS) and 21 records from 8 patients with pentobarbital induced burst-suppression for treatment of status epilepticus (SE-BS) were reviewed. For each EEG, the mean duration of 40 interburst in...
