Abstract

In the intensive care unit (ICU), patients are often sedated and ventilated, which makes clinical evaluation of the status of the brain very limited. In these situations, the EEG is a potentially very useful tool to be informed about the status of the brain. EEG rhythms are very sensitive for derangements in brain function, as may occur in hypoxia, and can reliably detect epileptiform discharges. In addition, it can be a valuable tool for follow-up of patients, and can significantly contribute to prognostication of brain-damaged patients. The actual use of continuous EEG monitoring in the ICU is limited, however. An important contributing factor is related to the difficulties in interpreting the raw EEG signal, that does not permit a straightforward understanding by nontrained personnel. We recently proposed a visual transform of the EEG (van Putten, J Clin Neurophysiology 2008; 25:63–68) to facilitate the interpretation. Here, we present a modification of this analysis, including examples of this method in monitoring patients in the ICU.
