Does intraoperative electroencephalography predict postoperative seizures in infants with congenital heart disease?
The EEG in infants during deep hypothermic circulatory arrest displayed predictable changes. We identified an electroencephalographic pattern following the isoelectric period that may predict seizure development in the subsequent 48 hours.
SD in PD is common and usually occurs with depression. Absence of SI in the past month, PI, and loss of libido are predictors of SD in PD. A simple and quick screening of SD can be routinely performed by inquiring patients about the frequency of SI and the examination of the pull test. Detailed assessment of sexual functioning and depression may guide physicians in proper management.
