Scalp electrode impedance measurements recorded by wired and wireless electroencephalography (EEG) machines in 7 healthy dogs were compared. Eight recordings resulted in 80 impedance readings from subdermal wire electrodes (locations F7/F8, F3/F4, T3/T4, C3/C4, Fz, and Cz). Impedance values were measured first from the wired and then the wireless EEG machine. Wireless impedance measurements were higher than the wired EEG machine in 79/80 readings ( ≤ 0.05), being on average 2.83 kΩ [ ≤ 0.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.51 to 3.14, SD = 1.42] higher. Impedances from the wired machine ranged between < 0.5 and 9 kΩ (mean = 3.09, median = 2.00, SD = 2.15), whereas impedances from the wireless machine ranged between 2.69 and 6.07 kΩ (mean = 5.92, median = 5.05, SD = 2.59). Despite these differences in impedance measurements, both machines measured similar impedance patterns. The wireless EEG machine's impedance measurements, therefore, should be acceptable for veterinary clinical settings.
比较了有线和无线脑电图(EEG)仪记录的 7 只健康犬的头皮电极阻抗测量值。8 次记录得出了 80 个皮下线电极(F7/F8、F3/F4、T3/T4、C3/C4、Fz 和 Cz 位置)的阻抗读数。首先从有线和无线 EEG 仪测量了阻抗值。无线阻抗测量值在 79/80 次读数中高于有线 EEG 仪(≤0.05),平均高 2.83 kΩ[≤0.05,95%置信区间(CI):2.51 至 3.14,SD=1.42]。有线仪的阻抗范围为<0.5 至 9 kΩ(均值=3.09,中位数=2.00,SD=2.15),而无线仪的阻抗范围为 2.69 至 6.07 kΩ(均值=5.92,中位数=5.05,SD=2.59)。尽管阻抗测量值存在这些差异,但两种仪器都测量了相似的阻抗模式。因此,无线 EEG 仪的阻抗测量值可用于兽医临床环境。
