The human burst suppression electroencephalogram of deep hypothermia. Issue 10 (October 2015) - Brandon Westover, M.
Highlights We investigated the effects of deep hypothermia on the human electroencephalogram. Hypothermia induces a burst-suppression with bursts that are progressively longer and lower in amplitude, while the spectral content of bursts remains largely constant. These findings support a model in which burst suppression across diverse etiologies arises from widespread cyclical depletion of cerebral metabolic resources.
