Fig. 3: Example of repeated EEG seizure episodes associated with increases in heart rate and fall in oxygen saturation (SpO2) in a ventilated neonate receiving muscle paralysis.

From: Falls in oxygen saturations accompany electrographic seizures in term neonates: an observational study

Fig. 3

The upper panel a shows the left and below that right aEEG trace over a four hour period with an increase in amplitude as in the example with the red vertical line which corresponds to seizure activity on the left and right raw EEG traces (panel b). The EEG seizures were associated with a fall in oxygen saturation (SpO2) (panel c) and example purple line (1) and an increase in pulse rate (panel d) which stop after the end of the seizure activity example lines 2 (orange) to 3 (green); these traces are shown over a period of sixty minutes.
