Delirium and quantitative EEG.

Delirium and quantitative EEG.

reported tongue sores or lip oedema as a putative side effect following BT injection, nor have we ourselves observed similar mucosal reactions in any of our cases. On the other hand, many viruses, predominantly herpes simplex types, varicella zoster and various coxsackie types produce oral manifestations resulting in vesicles or ulcers, or both. Together with enanthemas, these changes may or ma...

EEG spectral analysis in delirium.

Spectral analysis of EEG was conducted for 51 elderly delirious patients meeting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders III (DSM-III) criteria and for 19 controls. As a whole group, and also when subdivided according to the type of delirium, severity of cognitive decline or the type of central nervous system disease, delirious patients showed significant reductions of alpha p...

Conventional and quantitative EEG in the diagnosis of delirium among the elderly.

This study was performed to determine whether an admission quantitative EEG (QEEG) could assist in the differential diagnosis of encephalopathy among a group of elderly subjects with delirium, dementia, and delirium coexistent with dementia. Thirty four subjects from 57 to 93 years had standard 17-channel EEG and quantitative EEG studies, using a linked-ear reference. EEGs were independently ra...

Delirium detection using EEG: what and how to measure.

BACKGROUND Despite its frequency and impact, delirium is poorly recognized in postoperative and critically ill patients. EEG is highly sensitive to delirium but, as currently used, it is not diagnostic. To develop an EEG-based tool for delirium detection with a limited number of electrodes, we determined the optimal electrode derivation and EEG characteristic to discriminate delirium from nonde...
