Scalp Edema and High Frequency Respirator Artifacts
Scalp Edema and High Frequency Respirator Artifacts. An 18-day-old boy with diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypoplasia, and generalized skin edema, including severe scalp edema due to hypoalbuminemia, who had been on ECMO since birth. Head CT showed significant extra-axial CSF space. His level of consciousness was improving. EEG demonstrates very low-voltage background activity throughout the recording probably caused by a combination of scalp edema, increased extra-axial CSF space, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Note artifactual, low-voltage, rhythmic, 7-Hz theta activity due to the high-frequency respirator in the right occipital electrode (arrow).
