In 1924 the German psychiatrist Hans Berger made the first electroencephalographical (EEG) recording of cerebral activity in humans. Worldwide, EEG developed into a widely used diagnostic method and was introduced in Sweden in 1937. Today EEG is an essential diagnostic and monitoring standard in epilepsy, sleep disorders, neonatology and intensive care, and provides prognostic information after perinatal asphyxia and cardiac arrest.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of Effort of Breathing (EOB) calculations as an alternative to Work of Breathing (WOB) measurements in nonhuman primates during increased inspiratory resistance, mimicking upper airway obstruction.
- Through the use of Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) and other measurements, researchers found that EOB and WOB showed strong correlations, indicating similar responses to higher resistive loads.
- The findings suggest that EOB could serve as a reliable substitute for WOB, especially in scenarios where spirometry is unavailable, offering new monitoring opportunities for non-invasive ventilation.
Unlabelled: Continuous monitoring of electroencephalography (EEG), with a focus on amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), has been used in neonatal intensive care for decades. A number of systems have been suggested for describing and quantifying aEEG patterns. Extensive full-montage EEG monitoring is used in specialised intensive care units.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFStatus epilepticus, a condition with prolonged or repeated seizures, is a common neurological emergency with significant morbidity and mortality. This text outlines the treatment and initial work-up for convulsive and non-convulsive status epilepticus in adults and children. The most serious form is convulsive (tonic-clonic) status epilepticus, which requires rapid treatment and work-up.
