Abstract

The coma is common in intensive care units. The bedside physical examination provides a means to measuring the neurological status, but it cannot be a continuous evaluation, whereas electroencephalogram (EEG) can reflect the immediate electrical activities of the brain. In this paper, we investigate the spectral parameters, complexity and irregular measures, and spectral entropy in the coma. Compared to the normal subject, the EEG of the coma has a dominance of slow wave, low complexity, less irregularity, and low spectral entropy. This result demonstrates the possibility to use EEG analysis for the monitoring of neurological function.
