What else can I help you with?
How do you confirm that a person is dead?
Do an EEG and check for brain activity.
Is left site of body numbness in some seconds and some other times a simple body jerk epilepsy?
It may be so. The EEG. will confirm the same.
What is EEg acronym?
eeg is the acronym for electroencephalograph.
What is a quantitative EEG?
An extension of the EEG technique, called quantitative EEG (qEEG), involves manipulating the EEG signals with a computer using the fast Fourier transform algorithm.
What is a heart attack known as?
Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI).
What is watershed infarction?
watershed infarction cerebral infarction in a watershed area during a time of prolonged systemic hypotension
Abbreviation for myocardial infarction?
The abbreviation for myocardial infarction is M.I.
What type of EEG is evidence of clinical death?
Yes. An Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures brain waves. When there is no brain activity, the EEG output ("line") goes flat. This indicates clinical death even if the patient still has breathing via a ventilator or heart rate via a pacemaker or other life-sustaining heroic measures.This is used along with other testing to help make decisions on continuing or discontinuing the artificial life functions. If there is no more activity registering on the EEG other than the internal background noise level, it can be used as neurologic criteria, in conjunction with other testing and examination, to confirm death. Although confirmatory in the U.S., the EEG alone is insufficient to pronounce death.yes. EEG measures brain waves.

What is a EEG scan?
It is an electroencephalogram. It evaluates electrical activity produced by the brain, which can signify or rule out certain conditions, most commonly seizure disorders. The EEG takes about an hour to complete, and the results are automatically sketched on paper, while a video monitor records the movement of the patient, which can disrupt the test. It is easier to read an EEG of an adult, since there is less variance in brain activity. This is not true of an EEG test used on a child. There is often so much variance in brain activity that an EEG in children may be consistent with epilepsy where none exists. Generally, seizure disorder in children, without the presence of identifiable seizures requires testing other than an EEG to have confirmed results. As a test progresses, if it is used to examine seizure disorder, a person may be directed to look at flashing lights, which might trigger a seizure. The lights are stopped if evidence from the EEGshows that a person is in pre-seizure mode. Thus the person generally doesn't have a seizure, but shows electrical activity consistent with what would become a seizure. An EEG may also be used to evaluate other conditions. For example, people who come to a hospital in an altered state of consciousness, perhaps after a head injury, would probably have an EEG performed. Migraines have been shown to have a similarEEG pattern, and people who suffer from them may have an EEG to confirm diagnosis. Some psychiatric disorders that are organic in nature can also show a distinct pattern of electrical activity. People with tumors, or with brain abscesses may also show lack of electrical activity in some aspects of the test. As well, an EEGcan measure total lack of brain activity, confirming the death of a patient. Generally an EEG is most helpful in measuring a patient who can be compliant. A screaming child, for example, or a patient with extreme mental disturbance, who cannot remain calm, will have a corrupted EEG test. For children, an EEG is usually scheduled during a child's naptime. Not all brain functions can be measured by an EEG. X-rays or more complex scans would probably follow an EEG that suggests a tumor or cranial swelling in order to confirm the diagnosis. The electrical patterns of the brain are measured against "normal scans." Thus the EEG can be an excellent tool for suggesting variance. However, physicians may have to look further to confirm the actual meanings of variance.
