EEGs in Critical Care: A Symphony of Brain Function

This chapter explores the intricate role of EEGs in assessing neurological conditions in ICU patients, highlighting their value in detecting seizures and understanding brain health. The discussion covers the limitations of short EEG recordings and the necessity of longer monitoring to gain meaningful insights, particularly in complicated cases involving metabolic influences. Emphasizing the need for better collaboration between clinicians and EEG readers, the chapter advocates for improved standards in EEG interpretations to enhance patient care in critical settings.
