Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate sedation with quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) analysis in dogs. EEG is used to evaluate objectively the effects of CNS acting with brain and behavioral changes. Especially, spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF 95) parameter is an effective method to determine the sedative status. The SEF 95 is the frequency below 95% of the total power. Twelve healthy intact male Miniature Schnauzer dogs, which did not show any neurological abnormalities and disease, were used for the study. EEG electrodes were inserted in subcutaneous tissue over the calvaria without entering adjacent muscles. The EEG data were acquired and analyzed by EEG raw wave and spectral edge frequency 95 analysis. After the administration of sedatives, the SEF 95 values were shown the significant changes compared with the normal state In all groups (p<0.05). It is suggested that SEF 95 analysis is useful method for assessing the state of sedation in dogs.

본 연구는 건강한 12마리의 슈나우져견에서 정량적 뇌파검사를 이용하여 진정을 평가한 것이다. 뇌파검사는 뇌나 행동의 변화와 관련된 중추신경계의 변화를 객관적으로 측정하는 데 사용이 된다. 특히 정량적 뇌파검사 방법인 spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF 95)는 진정의 상태를 평가하는 효과적인 방법이다. 본 실험에서 뇌파 전극은 8곳의 각각 다른 부위의 피하에 장착 하였으며 뇌파의 원래 파형과 SEF 95로 변환된 수치를 획득하여 분석하였다. 기전이 다른 5종의 진정제를 투여 한 후 측정된 모든 실험군의 SEF 95 값이 진정제 투여 전 상태와 비교하였을 때, 유의적으로 감소한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로 SEF 95의 정량적인 뇌파검사는 개에서 진정 상태를 평가하는 효과적인 방법이라고 생각된다.
