9-14
How many hertz is a "Theta" waveform
4-8
How many hertz is a "Delta" waveform
1-3
List in sequence "fastest to slowest" the EEG waveforms
Beta>Alpha>Theta>Delta
-Awake, normal, alert, consciousness

What EEG waveform does this describe?
Beta
-Relaxed, calm, meditation, creative visualisation

What EEG waveform does this describe?
Alpha
-Deep relaxation and mediation, problem solving

What EEG waveform does this describe?
Theta
Deep, Dreamless sleep

What EEG waveform does this describe?
Delta
In the absence of a pathologic process, how are EEG amplitude and frequency related?
Inversely related
A simultaneous decrease in EEG amplitude and frequency may indicate what?
ischemia, anoxia, or excessive hypnosis
A simultaneous increase in EEG amplitude and frequency may indicate what?
seizure activity or artifact
Type of CNS monitoring where "auditory stimuli travels to the auditory nerve and then on to the cerebral cortex"
"auditory evoked potentials"
This type of CNS monitoring is ideal for Cardiac surgery b/c there is very little change in the signal as the temperature of the body changes
auditory evoked potentials
Defined as a doppler wave transmitted through the temporal bone to the large vessels
Transcranial doppler ultrasonography
What artery is viewed when using a transcranial doppler signal
The middle Cerebral Artery
What EEG monitoring technique can be used to detect emboli
Transcranial Doppler
What EEG monitoring technique can be used to detect improper head position prior to the start of cardiopulmonary bypass
Transcranial Doppler
What EEG monitoring technique can be used to detect if the Aortic perfusion cannula has not been properly placed
Transcranial Doppler
An oximeter probe that is inserted into the Jugular venous system and it measures continuous cerebral oxygen saturation
Jugular Bulb Oximetry
What are the 2 major limitations to Jugular Bulb Oximetry
1. the vascularity of the skull is extremely varied and placement of the catheter may not accurately reflect vascular return

2. Low flow states may give inaccurate measures
Measures intravascular hgb concentrations in the skull, and is the most rapidly growing method of monitoring d/t its ease of use and accuracy
Cerebral Oximetry
T or F

The human skull is translucent to infrared light
True
May be used during nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass and even circulatory arrest
Cerebral Oximetry
________ is primarily used to quantify change, However a value below 50 is associated with?
cerebral oximetry

cognitive deficits
Cerebral Oximetry is good choice to help measure abrupt changes during what procedure
carotid endarterectomy
When should Cerebral Oximetry be instituted?
once the pt enters the OR to establish a baseline
A simple change such as turning the head to place a PA catheter could have what effects on the cerebral oximetry reading
will cause large decreases in cerebral oximetry reading
This type of monitoring is the weighted sum of electroencephalographic subparameters derived to give a single value
BIS monitoring
on the BIS scale-0 equates to ________, and 100 equates to ______
silent EEG and 100 equate a fully awake patient
What BIS value indicates an appropriate level of sedation for GA
40-60
