Question | Answer |
---|---|
The electrodes that are typically left off for neonatal EEG | Fp1/Fp2, F7/F8, T5/T6, F3/F4, P3/P4 |
Special electrodes that are included for neonatal EEG | Fp3, Fp4, Fz, Cz, Pz |
__ and __ are electrodes used in neonates between Fp1 and Fp3, and Fp2/F4 | Fp3, Fp4 |
Fp3 is an electrode situated between standard 10-20 electrodes __ and __ | Fp1, F3 |
Additional channels often used in neonatal EEG | respiratory, EOG, EKG, EMG |
Electrode impedence should be less than __ Ohms (__ kOhms) for neonatal EEG | 5000, 5 |
Suck artifact is often most common in the __ electrodes | temporal |
Frontal cerebral activity should be __ (in/out) of phase in the eye channels; eye movements should be __ (in/out) of phase in the eye channels | in, out |
EKG artifact in neonates is most common in the __ electrodes | temporal |
Pulse artifact is most prominent in the __ electrodes | Cz |
Cardiac recoil most often results in artifact in the __ electrodes | occipital |
The earliest EGA at which behavior can be used to determine sleep vs. wakefulness is ~ __ weeks | 24 |
In __ sleep in an infant, the infant's eyes are closed but there are a variety of large and small body movements; brief apneas are relatively common | active |
Newborn infants __ (always/ frequently/rarely/never) enter active sleep from wakefulness | frequently |
In infants in __ sleep, the eyes are closed and there are few movements; apnea is uncommon | quiet |
Apnea is more common during __ sleep | active |
An infant's EEG is most vulnerable to adverse neurologic events during __ sleep | quiet |
Much of the EEG is spent in __ sleep, which is neither active nor quiet | indeterminate |
The earliest vestiges of EEG activity appear at week __ EGA | 8 |
The discontinuity of a neonatal EEG is quantified by the __ __ | interburst interval |
Neonatal EEGs that display a relatively steady amplitude are termed __ | continuous |
Neonatal EEGs that alternate between high amplitude "on" periods and low amplitude "off" periods are termed __ (not burst-suppression) | discontinuous |
The median IBI at 24 weeks is __ seconds | 10 |
Prolonged IBIs have been associated with __ and __ | hyperammonemia (in citrullinemia), hypoxia |
The two components of symmetry assessed in neonatal EEGs | amplitude, waveform composition |
__ in neonates is defined as bursts of morphological similar EEG activity in homologous head regions separated by more than 1.5 to 2.0 seconds in time | asynchrony |
__ is a phenomenon whereby bursts of activity arise in the two hemispheres at the same time in neonates; it is seen before EGA __ weeks | hypersynchrony, 30 |
About __% of bursts of activity during quiet sleep are synchronous at age 31-32 week EGA; __%35-36% and __% after 37 weeks | 70, 85, 100 |
For a 24-29 week EGA, the EEG __ (does/does not appear distinctly different during sleep and wakefulness | does not |
For the EEG of a 24-29 week EGA infant, the EEG __ (does/does not) demonstrate reactivity | does not |
The EEG of an otherwise healthy 24-29 week EGA neonate shows __ (no/some/constant) continuity | no |
The bursts of a 24 - 29 week EGA neonate show __ (asynchrony/hypersynchrony/synchrony) in 100% of patients | hypersynchrony |
The typical interburst interval in 24-29 week EGA neonates | 6-12 seconds |
The typical interburst amplitude in 24 - 29 week EGA neonates | < 2 microvolts |
The bursts of activity for a 24-29 week EGA neonate show most activity in these regions | temporal occiptial |
The EEG for a neonate at 30-34 EGA __ (does/down not) appear the same in active sleep, quiet sleep and wakefulness | does not |

Discontinuous patterns of quiet sleep (as seen in 30-36 week EGA neonates) are known as this | trace discontinu |
The EEG of a 30-34 EGA neonate __ (does/does not) demonstrate reactivity | does |

The amplitude of the interburst interval is __ in EGA 30-34 neonates | < 25 microvolts |
Bursts in EGA 30-34 week neonates have more prominent rhythmic activity in the __ regions | temporal, occipital |
