A methodology for detecting and exploring non-convulsive seizures in patients with SAH
نویسندگان
چکیده
A methodology for understanding and detecting nonconvulsive seizures in individuals with subarachnoid hemorrhage is introduced. Specifically, beginning with an EEG signal, the power spectrum is estimated yielding a multivariate time series which is then analyzed using empirical orthogonal functional analysis. This methodology allows for easy identification and observation of seizures that are otherwise only identifiable though expert analysis of the raw EEG.

متن کاملNon-convulsive seizures and non-convulsive status epilepticus monitoring in the intensive care unit. A real need for the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU) is essential for detecting non-convulsive seizures/status epilepticus (NCSs, NCSE). Currently there exist a number of continuous EEG monitoring systems adapted for use in the ICU. However, these systems have been trained using EEG data collected from healthy, neurologically intact patients with epileptic seizures, a very differen...
