The Bispectral Index™ monitor, an electroencephalographic-derived parameter, can quantify hepatic encephalopathy cerebral function recovery and differentiate between West Haven grades 1 to 4. I report a very peculiar "plateau" phenomenon of 3 clear distinct plateaus of stepwise albumin dialysis Bispectral Index hepatic encephalopathy recovery during an 8-hour Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System™ (MARS™) liver-assist extracorporeal detoxification, manifesting in conjunction with 3 West Haven grade recoveries. In the patients, I observed recovery of cerebral function after hepatic encephalopathy as a series of plateaus with abrupt transitions between the plateaus, rather than the gradual recovery I anticipated.
脑电双频指数监测仪是一种基于脑电图得出的参数,可量化肝性脑病患者脑功能的恢复情况,并区分韦斯特黑文分级的1至4级。我报告了一种非常特殊的“平台期”现象,即在8小时的分子吸附再循环系统(MARS™)肝脏辅助体外解毒过程中,逐步白蛋白透析的脑电双频指数肝性脑病恢复出现了3个清晰明显的平台期,这与韦斯特黑文分级的3级恢复情况同时出现。在这些患者中,我观察到肝性脑病后脑功能的恢复呈现为一系列平台期,各平台期之间有突然转变,而非我预期的逐渐恢复。
