Abstract:Objective To observe the changes of dynamic video EEG before and after thrombolysis in patients with newly discovered severe cerebral infarction, and to provide more positive opinions and suggestions for the prognosis of patients with severe cerebral infarction. Methods We selected 98 patients with severe cerebral infarction who were newly diagnosed with rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis criteria at the Leshan City People’s Hospital between January, 2015 and December, 2016. The changes of EEG before and after thrombolysis were monitored. The general data, EEG before and after thrombolysis, and the results of skull imaging were recorded in detail. The prognosis of patients with severe cerebral infarction was evaluated by single variable and logistic regression analysis. Results In the univariate analysis, there were significant differences in age, onset-to-visit time, EEG and cranial imaging findings between the remission group and the unremission group in terms of statistics (P < 0.05). By multivariate Logistic regression analysis, age older than 65 years old [Ol^R=2.958, (95% CI: 1.347, 6.495)], time for onset to visit >3.5 h [Ol^R=3.643, (95% CI: 0.563, 5.267)] EEG positive [Ol^R=4.079, (95% CI: 1.588, 10.477)], head imaging positive [Ol^R=3.021, (95% CI: 1.554, 5.870)] were independent risk factors of poor prognosis. Conclusions The age >65 years before admission, abnormal EEG waveform after thrombolysis and abnormal cranial imaging findings are the independent risk factors for poor prognosis of patients with severe cerebral infarction. The application of dynamic video EEG monitoring to rt-PA thrombolytic therapy in patients with severe cerebral infarction is of great significance in predicting the prognosis of patients with severe cerebral infarction.
