Abstract

Several markers based on quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) analysis have been associated with the neuroprotective effects of therapeutic hypothermia on hypoxicischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after cardiac arrest (CA). Nevertheless, the makers by far have not been linked to the temporal process of the ischemic neuronal death. In this study, we investigated the long-range correlations in EEG power in q and a bands before and after CA by detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). The scaling components by DFA showed that the short-term scaling exponent in α band (i.e. γα 1 ) was well correlated with recovery of brain injury during the latent phase. While the short-term scaling exponent in θ band (i.e. γθ1 ) and the long-term scaling exponent in α band (i.e. γα2) were correlated with the delayed neuronal death after CA. Our preliminary results showed that the long-range correlations in θ and α bands could be related the detail temporal process of therapeutic hypothermia.
