Recommendations for Electroencephalography Monitoring in Neurocritical Care Units

Associated Factors and Prognostic Implications of Non-convulsive Status Epilepticus in Ischemic Stroke Patients With Impaired Consciousness

“…Our study has several limitations: (1) The small sample size and single-center data fails to represent all the characteristics of stroke patients and limited the generalizability of the conclusions, and therefore, the conclusions need further confirmation by additional multi-center studies enrolling sufficient number of patients. (2) Only mRS score was assessed 3 months after the onset of stroke, while long-term neurological and cognitive outcomes of NCSE remain unknown.…”

“…However, NCSE measurement may be critical in stroke patients and could serve as an EEG marker with prognostic and predictive value. The negative effect of NCSE on patient outcomes has been gradually confirmed by clinical studies in patients with head trauma or cardiac arrest (1,2). However, little is currently known about its clinical significance in patients with stroke.…”

“… 6 , 161 Guidelines and consensus statements have also been published by several other neurocritical care societies. 2 , 4 , [7] , [8] , [9] , 10 …”

“…Conversely, episodic nonepileptic movements and autonomic changes in ICU patients are commonly misinterpreted and unnecessarily treated as seizures, prolonging ICU stay and impacting adversely on outcome. [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] …”
