  • Feasibility Study of Electroencephalogram Power Spectrum Analysis Monitoring Noninvasive Intracranial Pressure

    ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of electroencephalography (EEG) power spectrum analysis monitoring noninvasive intracranial pressure (ICP). MethodsBetween September 2008 and May 2009, the EEG signals were recorded in 62 patients (70 cases/times) with central nervous system (CNS). By using self-designed software, EEG power spectrum analysis was conducted and pressure index (PI) was calculated automatically. ICP was measured by lumbar puncture (LP). ResultsThe mean ICP was (239.74±116.25) mm H2O (70-500 mm H2O, 1 mm H2O=0.009 8 kPa), and 52.9% of patients had increased ICP. The mean PI was 0.29±0.20 (0.02-0.85). The Spearman rank test showed that there was a significant negative correlation between PI and ICP (rs=-0.849, P<0.01). The data from the patients with diffuse lesions of CNS and focal lesions were analyzed separately; the results showed there were significant negative correlations between PI and ICP in both groups (rs=-0.815, -0.912; P<0.01). ConclusionThe PI obtained from EEG analysis is correlated with ICP. Analysis of specific parameters from EEG power spectrum might reflect the ICP. Further research should be carried out.
