Sleep I N Premature Infants: Correlation between Eeg Sleep- State Spectral Values and Gestational Age
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods: One-hour monopolar EEG was recorded before discharge in twenty-one NICU admitted premature infants (mean gestational age-GA 30 weeks, range 27–35) during active (AS) and quiet sleep (QS) from electrodes Fp1, Fp2, Fz, T3, T4, C3, Cz, C4, O1 and O2. Fast Fourier transform algorithm was applied for power spectral analysis of the EEG. The existence of changes between sleep states and gestational age in the power of delta, theta, alpha, beta, low gamma and gamma bands was tested.

Evaluation of the Effect of Nest Posture on the Sleep-wake State of Premature Infants
Background: Premature birth is a major cause of infant mortality in developed countries. Newborns confined to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are in a rapid stage of brain development. As such, sleep plays a pivotal role in the proper brain development of newborns. However, this developmental aspect is often disregarded due to the lack of information. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the...
متن کاملPrediction of neonatal state and maturational change using dimensional analysis.
Nonlinear time series analysis techniques have been used to analyze physiologic signals such as EEG and heart rate. The authors illustrate the application of dimensional analysis (DA) to assess neonatal sleep states at increasing gestational ages up to full-term age. One hundred and sixteen EEG-polygraphic recordings were performed on 55 neonatal subjects between 28 and 43 weeks gestational age...
متن کاملThe Development of the Preterm Infant Is Fre- Quently Assessed Using the Term Infant as a Reference. for Example, When Preterm Infants
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PRETERM INFANT IS FREQUENTLY ASSESSED USING THE TERM INFANT AS A REFERENCE. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PRETERM INFANTS are 38 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA), they are compared with term infants of similar age. One problem with this comparison is that the stress of preterm birth with its accompanying morbidity is confounded with the effect of prolonged extrauterine existence. An alt...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity in Neonates, Part 2: Application of Correlation Dimension to Dimensional Analysis of Neonatal Eeg
A nonlinear time series analysis technique, the correlation dimension (CD), for dimensional analysis of the EEG is proposed for the analysis of neuroplasticity in neonates at increasing gestational ages up to full term age. One hundred and sixteen EEG-polygraphic recordings were performed on 55 neonatal subjects between 28 and 43 weeks gestational age from which state assignments were initially...
متن کاملCharacteristics of heart period variability in intubated very low birth weight infants with respiratory disease.
BACKGROUND Heart period variability provides a measure of balance between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Since the PNS develops during the final weeks of gestation, premature infants have an overriding SNS. Spectral power analysis of heart period variability reveals two main frequency regions, the low frequency region (LF) representing primarily S...
