399 Source Localization of Burst Suppression in Post-Cardiac Arrest Patients
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 April 2024
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Burst suppression is a neurophysiological marker associated with severe hypoxic-ischemic injury following cardiac arrest. The goal of this study is to identify the anatomical regions of the brain associated with burst suppression post-cardiac arrest. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 86 comatose patients post-cardiac arrest admitted to the neurological-ICU from Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital were included in this study. EEG data after return of spontaneous circulation were preprocessed and artifact was rejected. Burst segments were extracted for source localization analysis from epochs with burst suppression. Four bursts for each patients were manually selected. The source of the bursts were obtained using the Champagne algorithm and mapped on the Desikan-Killiany atlas. The source for each burst was defined as any region of interest (ROI) with power > = 75th percentile relative to all ROIs. The power of the bursts at each source was correlated with the burden of brain injury measured using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) per ROI. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 48 (56%) patients had burst suppression. 5 (10.4%) of patients with burst suppression were independent at the time of hospital discharge. Preliminary analyses was performed on 6 patients (24 bursts in total). ROI’s determined to be sources in a majority of the burst (>=13) were bilateral superior frontal, rostral middle frontal, parstriangularis precentral, superior parietal, inferior parietal, right post central, superior temporal, lateral occipital, and left middle temporal ROI. A lower mean ADC intensity was associated with a higher EEG power in the bilateral superior frontal (r = -0.80, p < 0.0001; r = -0.677, p < 0.001, respectively), left superior parietal (r = -0.53, p = 0.009), left middle temporal (r = -0.43, p = 0.042) ROI. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The source of bursts in patients post-cardiac arrest experiencing burst suppression is not well defined. This study will improve our understanding of how burst suppression is a measure of cortical injury, how it may relate to the burden of injury found on ADC imaging, and patient outcomes.
