Key result
Automated EEG monitoring systems are needed in the intensive care unit to detect unnoticed seizures that cause high mortality, but current technologies require further development.
This paper reviews the requirements and current state of automated EEG monitoring systems for detecting seizures in the ICU.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Underscores need for automated ICU EEG monitoring; leaves open whether existing technologies can meet clinical requirements.
Seizures in the intensive care unit (ICU) tend to go unnoticed due to the absence of appropriate EEG monitoring systems resulting in high levels of mortality. This paper looks at the requirements of an automated EEG monitoring system for use in the ICU. It also investigates the current state of knowledge and highlights areas in need of further work.
