Does continuous EEG influence prognosis in patients after cardiac arrest?
Resuscitation Aug 30, 2018
Fatuzzo D, et al. - In comatose cardiac arrest (CA) patients, the impact of continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) (>18 hours) vs routine intermittent EEG (rEEG)(<30 minutes) on the outcome as part of multimodal prognostication was assessed. They performed an analysis of a large prospective registry of comatose post-CA adults (n=497; 2009-2018), stratified based on whether they received cEEG (n=62) or rEEG (n=435), including standardized reactivity testing at two time-points. Findings suggest that cEEG had no advantage over intermittent rEEG regarding outcome in patients with CA, and no influence on the time to death.
