Feasibility and agreement of a self-adhesive EEG electrode set versus conventional EEG in postanoxic coma
Authors' conclusion
EEG forehead electrode recordings were interpretable in a large proportion of cases.
Study context
- Population
- Postanoxic coma patients
- Participants
- 51 patients
- Comparison
- Self-adhesive forehead EEG electrode vs conventional EEG
- Outcome
- Agreement of EEG background classification (ACNS criteria, 5-min fragments)
Methodological detailssimultaneous monitoring, four expert raters
- Simultaneous monitoring
- Four expert raters
Performance
As reported in the abstract
Agreement of background classification
κ
0.56
Forehead electrode · moderate agreement
κ
0.85
Conventional EEG visualized as forehead electrode · near perfect agreement
Further findings
- Forehead electrode recordings of sufficient quality
- 74.1% · of fragments
Detection of discontinuous and suppressed patterns
- Detection rates reduced with forehead electrode due to higher noise levels
