CLTM PACK TEST Q’S |GUARANTEED
ACCURATE ANSWSERS
The drug used in wada testing is known to lay persons as "truth serum" -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ True
Respiration, pulse, EKG, muscle activity, tremors, eye mvmts, and
nystagmus are considered - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ useful
physiological artifacts
Artifacts in the ICU/c EEG recording include - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Oscillating bed artifact, facial twitching that mimics
szs, respiratory artifact, rhythmic chest percussions
In the bipole of the - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ the cornea is positive
with respect to the retina
Lack of acceptable sz control despite adequate trials of appropriate drugs
at doses or levels that produce no side effects or acceptable side affects
are known as - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ refractory (intractable)
epilepsy
From the standpoint of the technologist and interpreting neurologist, an
artifact is any recorded signal not originating from the brain -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ true
,What makes up the characteristic triad of childhood absence epilepsy -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ normal intelligence and development,
bilateral synchronous symmetrical 3 hz spike and wave discharges with
normal background EEG, very frequent brief sz
Who is in charge of keeping the pt in camera at all times - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ LTM tech
technologist documentation should include - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ skin breakdowns, LOC, medication changes hour to
hour
Idiopathic describes cases of epilepsy where the cause is unknown but
lesion and distinct pathogenesis are presumed - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ true
Medication effects seen after injection with Amytal for wada testing are
- ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ ipsilateral delta and some contralateral
frontal delta
cEEG are used for - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ management of burst-
suppression in anesthetic coma, assessment of level of sedation and
following trends, detection of ischemia and prognostication, fluctuation
or alteration of mental status, evaluation of brain injury w/ AMS,
detection of subclinical szs and characterization of spells
,A distinctive, high voltage interictal EEG pattern associated with infants
with West syndrome is called - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
hypsarrhythmia
EEG pattern seen with Ohtahara syndrome - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ burst suppression
The goal of neuroprotection is - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ to
decrease speed in reperfusion injury, decrease cerebral metabolism to
cool vital organs to a point where metabolism is slower and requires less
oxygen and reduction of risk for ischemic injury
Clinical events that can mimic seizures in ICU patients include -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Nystagmus, apnea, chewing, ICU
psychosis
Seizures in the critically ill with encephalopathy tend to be -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ slower in fz, less clearly defined onset,
and have different evolution and onset than szs in awake patients
Partial seizures are associated with cardia arrhythmias - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ in 39% of cases
, EEG patterns commonly seen from drug effects include - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ generalized slowing, superimposed generalized fast
activity
What electrodes are used from "invasive monitoring" in LTM -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ foramen ovale, depth, peg, subdural strips
and grids
Combining MEG coherence imaging and DTI can lead to better
understanding of epileptic networks and their connectivity -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ true
Damage to this area causes contralateral hemiparesis/hemiplegia -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ precentral gyrus
A seizure that is a result of metabolic changes or related to drug use is
called - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ provoked seizure
Broca's area is located in what lobe - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
frontal
cEEG is useful to identify clinically silent neurological events in ICU
patients - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ true
