Abstract

Sepsis-associated encephalopathy is a diffuse cerebral dysfunction resulting from a systemic inflammatory response to sepsis. Diagnosing sepsis-associated encephalopathy remains challenging because existing examination methods, such as clinical profiles, laboratory biomarkers, and head computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have debatable sensitivity and specificity. Several EEG patterns in sepsis-associated encephalopathy include background rhythm slowing (theta and delta), burst suppression, triphasic waves, and periodic epileptiform discharges (PEDs). Electroencephalogram (EEG) has proven to have high sensitivity in detecting sepsis-associated encephalopathy from an early stage, even when neurological examination does not show significant abnormalities. EEG examination is a non-invasive method that is easy, inexpensive, and more widely available than other methods. Nevertheless, EEG cannot be used as a single diagnostic tool and needs to be combined with clinical parameters, laboratory biomarkers, and brain imaging to obtain accurate diagnosis.
