Continuous electroencephalography monitoring for early prediction of neurological outcome in postanoxic patients after cardiac arrest: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: To evaluate the value of continuous electroencephalography in early prognostication in patients treated with hypothermia after cardiac arrest.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Medical intensive care unit.

A novel approach for computer assisted EEG monitoring in the adult ICU.

Objective: The implementation of a computer assisted system for real-time classification of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in critically ill patients.

Methods: Eight quantitative features were extracted from the raw EEG and combined into a single classifier. The system was trained with 41 EEG recordings and subsequently evaluated using an additional 20 recordings.
