This case highlights how pacemaker artifacts can obscure electroencephalography (EEG) changes during carotid endarterectomy. Always review raw EEG alongside processed data to ensure accurate monitoring of cerebral function.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy requires monitoring cerebral blood flow to prevent ischemic complications.
  • Processed electroencephalography (EEG) is used for intraoperative neuromonitoring.

Observation:

  • A patient with an endocardial pacemaker undergoing carotid endarterectomy experienced pacemaker-generated artifacts on processed EEG.
  • These artifacts masked a significant decrease in EEG activity during carotid cross-clamping.

Findings:

  • The processed EEG's 'activity edge' remained constant despite reduced cerebral activity due to pacemaker artifact.
  • Referencing the raw EEG was crucial for identifying the true loss of brain activity.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the critical need to examine raw EEG signals, not just processed data, when monitoring cerebral function.
