Feasibility of a nurse-led patch-type electroencephalography monitoring protocol with arterial spin labeling in patients with severe traumatic brain injury: a prospective observational study
Authors' conclusion
These findings suggest that simplified patch-type EEG monitoring is feasible in this setting
Study context
- Population
- Patients with severe traumatic brain injury in the ICUenrolled
- Participants
- 24 patients
- Outcome
- Feasibility of a nurse-led patch-type EEG monitoring protocol
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Feasibility of patch-type EEG monitoring
Patch-type EEG monitoring feasible (21 of 24 enrolled patients)
87.5%
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Electrographic seizures (EEG and arterial spin labeling (ASL) both evaluable, n = 16)
- Electrographic seizures detected in 4 patients
- 25%
- All with seizures showed corresponding focal hyperperfusion on ASL imaging
- ASL MRI as exploratory comparator
