Long Term EEG Monitoring Solutions for the ICU

Electronic-intensive-care-unit-eICU-is-coming-to-AsiaPhysician demand for continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring of ICU patients is putting a tremendous amount of stress on already overworked EEG and ICU department staff members. The clinical advantages of utilizing EEG for assessing brain function in ICU patients has been well established in medical literature, especially in the last decade, therefore, the demand for cEEG has grown significantly. In fact, there is now an overwhelming amount of irrefutable medical evidence that documents the various areas where cEEG monitoring provides critical information into the brain function and complications affecting many critically ill patients. The recognition, diagnosis and treatment of status epilepticus, convulsive and non-convulsive seizures, is by far the most important benefit of continuous EEG monitoring in the ICU setting. Thankfully many recent advances in digital EEG technologies are now making broader application of cEEG in the ICU possible.

United Neurodiagnostics provides a full menu of EEG monitoring services to ICU’s including cEEG with remote log in and spectral analysis. This allows our technicians and interpreting physicians to quickly assess changes in the EEG as they occur. Our systems allow data to be viewed continuously in real time and is backed up with a recorded loop memory. By being able to view a looped recording of an event, technicians and physicians have the benefit of being able to replay and analyze the onset and development of any abnormal neurological activity. Our technicians assisted by specialized seizure detection software provide alerts to clinicians of any acute brain event, including seizures, ischemia, increasing intracranial pressure, hemorrhage, and even systemic abnormalities affecting the brain, such as hypoxia, hypotension, acidosis, and others with an incredibly low rate of false positives. Neurologist and Intensivists can identify when the brain is at risk for injury or when neuronal injury is occurring and intervene before there is permanent damage when cEEG and neuro-physiological data from multi-modality brain monitoring is utilized.
