Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Multi-channel tape-recordings of the EEG, breathing movements, arterial pulsed oxygen saturation and ECG were performed on a four-year-old child with a history of cyanotic episodes. These had started at nine months of age, resulted in cardiopulmonary resuscitation on unnumerable occasions, and were refractory to anti-epileptic medication. During each episode seizure activity appeared first, followed within a few seconds by sinus tachycardia, prolonged absence of inspiratory efforts and severe arterial hypoxaemia. As the seizure activity ended, breathing movements restarted and there was a gradual improvement in oxygenation. |
