EEG reactivity in neurologic prognostication in post-cardiac arrest patients: A narrative review

ResuscitationPublished Narrative review

Study context

Population
Comatose patients after cardiac arrest

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • EEG reactivity (EEG-R) is a promising early predictor of arousal in comatose patients after cardiac arrest
  • EEG-R testing methods remain heterogeneous across studies despite guidelines advocating its integration into multimodal prognostication
  • Quantitative approaches and machine learning models developed to reduce interrater variability; validation studies needed
  • Neurophysiological mechanisms and neuroanatomical correlates of EEG-R not fully understood
