Electroencephalographic

It is a test that measures the electrical activity of the brain, through small button-shaped electrodes that are placed on the scalp.

Means electroencephalogram and brain electrical panel corresponds to visible recording brain activity. It is a painless, noninvasive test and useful clinical

electroencephalogram 4

DIGITAL VIDEO ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM:

Patient filming is done during the course of the electroencephalogram, synchronized with an original software Nihon Kohden.

Generamente is required in patients with epilepsy or sleep disturbances, in order to be able to obtain a critical electric log and record clinical compulsive shot during crises.

HOW DOES A ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM?
The patient must go to the study, 30 minutes before the scheduled, with hair well washed with soap or shampoo, dry, without putting cream rinse, gel, spay or oils in the hair.

For the study, the patient will be comfortably sitting or lying; must remain relaxed and calm throughout the study.

He was placed on the scalp or skin surface electrodes (like buttons), with a special paste or gel that does not cause allergies, not hurt nor stain and it is easy to remove with water at the end of the study.

During the study some technical maneuvers that would previously be explained as will be made: hyperventilation (breathing fast and shallow), twinkling eyes, fotoestimulación (Strobe, light turn off and on quickly).

Ideally the patient sleeps spontaneously during the study.

DIGITAL BRAIN MAPPING:
It is applied in patients in which the physician wishes to obtain higher numerical analysis yun, graphic and spectral brainwave, in their potency, frequency, absolute and relative micro voltage, coherence analysis. Represented by colorful images of various brain lobes by bioelectric behavior.

INDICATIONS ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM:

In the laboratory of electroencephalography:
– In the first seizure
– To diagósticar and classify types of seizure
– In tracking laevolución different type epilepcia.
– To differentiate a degenerative disease or dementia depression.
– Occupational medical checkups.
In Intensive Care
– In the diagnostic study of impairment of consciousness and in cases where the patient is in bed.
– Diagnostic studies of seizure
– Differential diagnosis of pseudocrisis.
– Diagnosis and prognosis in herpes encephalitis, Encephalopathy hipoxicolsquemica
– Diagnosis of brain death
In the place you need
– Campgrounds, offices or clinics where they must make occupational medical checkups Electroencephalography (EEG)
