ICU-Electroencephalogram Unit Improves Outcome in Status Epilepticus Patients: A Retrospective Before-After Study
Integrating neurology expertise in the ICU setting through the establishment of an ICU-electroencephalogram unit with nearly real-time cEEG review, shortened SE duration, and increased likelihood of returning to premorbid neurologic function, with an increased number of antiseizure medications used. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings and assess long-term prognosis.
