1 Low Voltage EKG Activity Due to Scalp Edema; High Frequency Jet Respirator Artifact. An 18-day-old boy with diaphragmatic hernia, pulmonary hypoplasia, and severe scalp edema due to hypoalbuminemia who had been on ECMO since birth. Head CT showed significant extra-axial CSF space. His level of consciousness had been improving. EEG demonstrates very low-voltage background activity mainly caused by scalp edema. Note artifactual, low-voltage, rhythmic, 7-Hz theta activity in the right occipital electrode caused by the effect of high-frequency jet ventilator, which can vibrate a patient's entire body and the recording EEG electrodes (arrow). This artifact can mimic a focal electrographic seizure. Source: Artifacts, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
