3D EEG and Clinical Evidence of Brain Dying. Preliminary Report by M. Drobný, B. Drobná Sániová, S. Učňová, G. Sobolová, R. Koyš, C. Machado, Ya. Machado

“…Neurophysiological testing using electroencephalography and evoked potentials — somatosensory evoked potentials and brainstem auditory evoked potential could have been helpful in the final diagnostic brain death conclusion, but the diagnostic accuracy of these methods in the last years has revealed controversies. Here, we present data on quantitative EEG signal evaluation (qEEG) by a 3-dimensional brain mapping (3D BM) as developing tool to clarify whether the transverse and anterior posterior coherences such as connectivity indices may demonstrate connection in transversal or anterior posterior dimensions with «wavelet transformation» and if the 3D BM visualization of the of representative EEG signals may improve informative value of EEG signals quantification when evaluating the brain dying.The purpose of our work is to provide an update on the evidence and controversies on the use of EEG for determining brain dying and raise discussion on EEG applications to improve the transplantation program.Results. …”
