Electroencephalographic characteristics of complications of combat traumatic brain injury in the acute period

Abstract

A study of the functional state of the brain in brain patients with brain contusion and concussion in the acute period of combat traumatic brain injury was conducted. Specific focal disturbances of the electrical activity of the brain in patients with contusion and diffuse in patients with concussion were revealed. Common changes in patients of both groups are the presence of biopotentials in the beta range in the frontal parts of the brain, as a reflection of the information overload of analytical and synthetic processes in the conditions of hostilities. Key words: brain injury, electroencephalography, spectral power of brain biopotentials
