Multidrug-resistant bacteria transmitted through high-density EEG in ICU.

Purpose: Prevention of multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial contamination remains a major challenge in ICUs. Many hospital outbreaks involving MDR transmitted through environmental contamination have been reported. Bedside high-density EEG allow for dynamic cognitive evaluation in brain-injured patients and is used more and more frequently in clinical practice to evaluate brain function and predict outcome in severely neurologically impaired patients.
