Fourrier analysis demonstrate EEG slowing after circulatory arrest at 20 degrees C. 1984

J Massaut, and J Dubois-Primo, and A Devillé, and M J Govaerts, and F Deuvaert

The electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring in infants and children submitted to cardiac surgery under circulatory arrest (CA) and deep hypothermia (20 degrees C) (DH) is usually performed by display or record without analysis. These data disclose the reappearance of EEG activity but give no qualitative analysis of EEG recovery after CA. The electrical activity of the brain was monitored in these conditions by spectral analysis (fast Fourrier transformation with on-line processing). Spectral analysis of the EEG signal recorded during open heart surgery in nine infants and children operated under DH with, in five cases, CA is presented and discussed. The Fourrier analysis demonstrate in all patients with long CA (more than 30 min.) a spectral abnormality, namely the absence of fast activity (8-24 Hz) at least for the remainder of the operation. This abnormality was not present in operations without CA and was only transient after CA of shorter duration.

D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
