Abstract
Bioelectrical activity is a universal characteristic of functional state of the brain at a normal level of blood flow and under hypoperfusion. This parameter can be used to assess the effectiveness of the operation before and after endarterectomy. In this study we analyzed spectral characteristics of EEG in 106 patients who underwent endarterectomy in the acute period of stroke before and after two weeks from the onset of the disease. Was studied the dynamics of the power spectra of the EEG evoked potentials and clinical data before and after surgery. It is revealed that the nature of the change in the spectral power of alpha and beta activity of the EEG in the affected and in the intact hemisphere in acute ischaemic stroke can affect the timing of carotid endarterectomy and are important for the prediction of functional outcome after surgery. Inhibition of alpha- and beta-activity in both hemispheres in the preoperative period is an unfavorable factor for surgical intervention, as this will not lead to restoration of disturbed functions irrespective of stroke severity.
