Excerpt

This study intends to develop a physiologic thumbprint for nonconvulsive seizures (NCSz) after acute brain injury. Abnormal electrographic brain activity including NCSz is common after acute brain injury and is associated with poor outcome. Mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poorly understood but in animals periods of inadequate perfusion during seizures have been documented. In the present study we hope to gain better understanding of the relationship between abnormal electrographic patterns and brain homeostasis in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). …
