Non-expert use of quantitative EEG displays for seizure identification in the adult neuro-intensive care unit

Highlights • Non-convulsive seizures can only be identified by continuous EEG. • Lack of electrophysiologists in ICUs may delay recognition of these seizures. • Digital trend analysis methods can help identify ictal events. • Non-expert ICU staff can be trained to use these methods efficiently. • Al...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Non-convulsive seizures can only be identified by continuous EEG. • Lack of electrophysiologists in ICUs may delay recognition of these seizures. • Digital trend analysis methods can help identify ictal events. • Non-expert ICU staff can be trained to use these methods efficiently. • Alerting the electrophysiologist may allow earlier seizure identification.
