Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The study aims to investigate the relationship between amplitude modulation (AM) of EEG and anesthesia depth during general anesthesia.
METHODS
In this study, Holo-Hilbert spectrum analysis (HHSA) was used to decompose the multichannel EEG signals of 15 patients to obtain the spatial distribution of AM in the brain. Subsequently, HHSA was applied to the prefrontal EEG (Fp1) obtained during general anesthesia surgery in 15 and 34 patients, and the α-θ and α-δ regions of feature (ROFs) were defined in Holo-Hilbert spectrum (HHS) and three features were derived to quantify AM in ROFs.
RESULTS
During anesthetized phase, an anteriorization of the spatial distribution of AMs of α-carrier in brain was observed, as well as AMs of α-θ and α-δ in the EEG of Fp1. The total power ([Formula: see text]), mean carrier frequency ([Formula: see text]) and mean amplitude frequency ([Formula: see text]) of AMs changed during different anesthesia states.
CONCLUSION
HHSA can effectively analyze the cross-frequency coupling of EEG during anesthesia and the AM features may be applied to anesthesia monitoring.
SIGNIFICANCE
The study provides a new perspective for the characterization of brain states during general anesthesia, which is of great significance for exploring new features of anesthesia monitoring.
