Non-invasive neuromonitoring in intensive care units in Colombia
Abstract
Continuous non-invasive electroencephalographic monitoring is an essential technique for critical care patients as it shows directly and indirectly the patient’s brain activity and makes it possible to relate it with findings in the clinical status. It is highly sensitive, although its specificity is lower, so they can show alterations of the state of consciousness without clarifying the etiology.
Continuous electroencephalographic recording in patients with altered levels of consciousness, seizures, and convulsive and non-convulsive status epilepticus has been increasing in recent years as real-time feedback of the cerebral function shows evolution changes and allows for the identification of electric and subclinical epileptic seizures that are highly important since they do not have clinical correlations.
These findings in electroencephalographic monitoring also help to modify pharmacological and antiseizure treatments. For practitioners, they are advantageous when making timely decisions that impact the prognosis of the patient.
