The purpose of this study is to analyse the ictal variations in peripheral blood flow using photoplethysmogram (PPG) and single lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. 11 subjects with 56 partial seizures were recorded with the PPG sensor worn on their left ankles. 6 different features from PPG pulse morphology related to hemodynamics were derived. The seizures were divided into two groups based on the side of the seizure activity. The investigation of ictal variations in features did not show any significant difference between the seizures' lateralizations. The analysis of latencies of ictal changes in the PPG features revealed the PPG pulse amplitude precede the variations in other PPG features including ictal heart rate variability. In addition, analysis of the effect of seizure lengths on ictal variations showed the seizures' lengths have no significant effect on the feature variation rates.Clinical relevance- Analysis of the extracted PPG features and their timing suggest an increase in vascular resistance due to increase in sympathetic tone which occurs prior to the ictal tachycardia. These variations is independent of the seizures' lengths and lateralizations. |
