Single electroencephalographic patterns as specific and time-dependent indicators of good and poor outcome after cardiac arrest

Highlights • Based on standardised definitions of continuity of background activity we identified single EEG patterns with 100% specificity for good or poor outcome. • Good outcome was predicted by continuous pattern at 12 hours. • Poor outcome was predicted by isoelectric pattern since 12 hours, by...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Based on standardised definitions of continuity of background activity we identified single EEG patterns with 100% specificity for good or poor outcome. • Good outcome was predicted by continuous pattern at 12 hours. • Poor outcome was predicted by isoelectric pattern since 12 hours, by burst-suppression pattern since 24 hours and by suppression pattern since 48 hours.
