Role of Neurophysiologic Testing in Prognostication of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
Abstract
SUMMARY: Electroencephalography (EEG) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) are important components of multimodal prognostication in comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA). The EEG changes considerably during the first days after CA. The prognostic value of some EEG patterns is time-dependent, whereas that of others is not. Persistence of burst-suppression with heterogeneous (variable) bursts and generalized suppression (
