What part of the brain generates EEG waveforms?

The thalmus

What cells do we collect electrical activity data from

Pyramidal cells

What is the resting potential for pyramidial cells

-60 to -80 uv

What is a capacitor

something that stores and electrical charge

What is an A to D converter

Analog to digital converter

What does the DC amplifier do

processes relatively constant or slowly fluctuating voltage
i.e: oximetry

What does the AC amplifier do

processes relatively fast signal frequency
i.e: EEG, EOG, ECG

What amplifier precesses common mode rejection

AC amplifier
*also called the differential amplifier

What electrode is ALWAYS your exploring electrode

input 1

Input 2 is used as your reference electrode, what electrodes are referred to as your reference
electrode?

M1 & M2

What electrodes are considered exploring electrodes

F3,F4,C3,C4,O1,O1

What k ohms is a desired impedence level

,5 k ohms

how does common mode rejection work

common frequencey is rejected and only the different frequencies are displayed

Input voltage from C4 is at 53 uv. The input voltage of M1 is 76 uv, what is the output voltage

-23uv

When a patient looks down, what will the tracing show

The tracing will spike up

When the patient looks left what direction will the tracing be

An upward spike

What is the general rule for the sampling rate

The faster the sampling rate the more accurate the tracing

What is the HFF set at for seizure activity

70 Hz

The video card is set at what resolution

1600x1200

What are the digital resolution settings

12 bits per sample minimum resolution of 4096 data points determined by ADC

What is the nyquist principle

The sampling rate must be at least TWICE AS FAST AS THE FASTEST FREQUENCY that will be recorded

What electrodes have a 500 Hz sampling rate

EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG

What electrodes have a sampling rate of 100 Hz

Airflow, nasal pressure, EtCO2, PAP, esophageal pressure, rib cage, abdominal movement

What are the labels used for voltage, sensitivity and deflection

V = voltage, S = sensitivity, D = deflection

What will happen to your waveform if you decrese the sensitivity

It will make your waveform larger

What will happen to your brain wave tracing if you increase the gain

It will make your wave larger

,What is considered ideal impedence for all leads

less than 5 k ohms

What is acceptable impedance for EMG leads

less than 10 k ohms

What is the bandpass for the amplifier filters

LFF = less than 0.1 Hz, HFF = greater than 100 Hz

What are the LFF settings for each electrode

EEG = 0.3 Hz, EOG = 0.3 Hz, EMG = 10 Hz, Snore = 10 Hz, Resp = 0.1 Hz, ECG = 0.3 Hz

What is the HFF setting for each electrode

EEG = 35 Hz, EOG = 35 Hz, EMG = 100 Hz, Snore = 100 Hz, ECG = 70 Hz, Resp = 15 Hz

What does it mean when you want to attenuate the amplitude

reduce the amplitude

What are other names for HFF and LFF

HFF = high pass filter, LFF = low pass filter

What effect will a HFF set at 35 Hz have on a 50 Hz sine wave

attenuate the amplitude

How is time constant defined

The time it takes in seconds for a waveform to drop 37% of it's calculated amplitude

What do barbituates do besides increase TST

*REM suppressor, increase sleep spindles, increase slow wave sleep, decrease WASO

** How do you figure TWT

total wake epochs divided by 2

When a person is awake what is the Hz measurement of the alpha wave? Asleep?

Awake = 8-13 Hz, Asleep = 7-10 Hz

Parasomnias usually occur in what stage of sleep

N3 = the deepest stage of sleep

What is the best way to measure airway resistance

esophageal manometry

** How do you figure sleep stage %

, # of epochs of sleep stage / 2 = # of min in sleep stage
# of min / TST x 100 = % time in sleep stage

hypnotics decrese sleep latency, but what classes of drugs are considered hypnotics

barbituates, benzodiazepines, non-benzodiazepines

How is hypopnea determined

a minimum desaturation of 3%
*medicare requires a desat of 4%

The best way to measure a hypopnea is:

pressure transducer

With shy-drager syndrome, what are some of the symptoms seen?

**low bp when standing, abnormal breathing during sleep, disrupted REM, decreased REM

What is the cause of eye movement aritfact

corneal retinal potential

In a narcoleptic patient, what will you see on the MSLT

sleep latency less than 5 min, 2 or more sleep onset REM periods

What are the contraindications for oral appliances

patients less than 18 yrs old, patients with unhealthy mouths

What are the indications for a person taking benzodiazepines

sleep anxiety, insomnia, to help treat PLM's

What effects on sleep will benzodiazepines have

increased spindle activity, increased N1 and N2, increased REM latency, decreased REM

What can acute alcohol withdrawl lead to

decreased REM latency

How many ohms should the resistance measure from chasis to ground

greater than 0.5 ohms

What is the maximum leakage of amps for equipment in direct contact with the patient, and not in
direct contact with the patient

direct contact = 100 micro amps, indirect contact = 300 micro amps

What does electrical equipment need to be plugged into

an isolator transformer
