Electroencephalogram (EEG) makes monitoring of brain function easier!

You may not be unfamiliar with EEG, but the powerful function of EEG in brain function monitoring seems not to be well understood.

As we all know, EEG is an irreplaceable non-invasive, low-cost, predictive diagnostic precision medical instrument for the diagnosis of brain diseases. But because of the specialty, complexity and data analysis difficulty of EEG operation, EEG machine is usually operated and diagnosed only by EEG doctors in EEG room, while the function of EEG in brain function detection has not been fully utilized in ward.EEG machine

Necessity of brain function monitoring in ward:

In emergency (ER), intensive care (ICU), neonatal intensive care (NICU) and operating room (OR), brain function monitoring has specific clinical significance! Specifically:

EEG can monitor the state and changes of brain function in critically ill patients. EEG waves detected by EEG are closely related to brain metabolism. At the same time, EEG is sensitive to most conventional brain injuries, such as local hypoxia and ischemia.

Early detection of changes and trends in brain function: to help clinicians intervene in time or prevent persistent and irreversible brain damage; electroencephalograph

Timely detection of non-paroxysmal seizures and status epilepticus (NCSE): EEG is the best way to monitor epilepsy at present.

To guide the medication, efficacy evaluation and prognosis judgment of treatment: EEG can realize real-time monitoring, provide real-time dynamic information and help to determine the treatment plan;

Identification of brain death

Brain function monitoring in ICU or ER:

Real-time monitoring of seizures, sedation level, cerebral ischemia and brain function, guiding drug treatment and evaluating prognosis

Monitoring non-convulsive epilepsy or non-convulsive status epilepticus

Evaluation of sedation level and judgment of patients with coma and stroke

Diagnosis of cerebral ischemia and hypoxia

Assistant judgment of brain death

Brain function monitoring in adult ICU

Detection of periodic epileptic seizures:

Application of endarterectomy

Contrast before and after drug treatment

Neonatal/Premature NICU Brain Function Monitoring:

Epilepsy seizures: Epilepsy in the first week of birth belongs to the high incidence period, but there is no obvious clinical manifestation, brain function monitoring is the only diagnostic basis.

Outbreak-inhibition: The development of premature infants can be analyzed by measuring the number and interval of outbreaks.

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and intracranial hemorrhage: Early diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and intracranial hemorrhage can be made by monitoring brain function, and children can be treated within an effective time.

To evaluate the degree of neonatal brain injury, to judge the long-term prognosis of neurodevelopment, and to evaluate the effect of drugs on brain function.

Where is the difficulty in bedside EEG monitoring?

EEG signal is weak:

The environment is complex and there are various interference signals:

Fixed electrodes are time-consuming and laborious:EEG machine

It is difficult to interpret the original EEG data and requires a professional EEG doctor.

How can we solve the above problems?
