Time to epileptiform activity and EEG background recovery are independent predictors after cardiac arrest

Electroencephalography (EEG) is the most common tool used to support the clinical neurological examination when assessing prognosis in comatose patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest (CA)(Friberg et al., 2015). Continuous EEG-monitoring (cEEG) is increasingly used and recommended after CA(Claassen et al., 2013, Callaway et al., 2015) to detect electrographic seizure activity and may add important information about the temporal dynamics of brain function recovery or deterioration.
