    There are, as well, several potential advantages for sedation and seizure control in the neurological and neurosurgical critically ill (Mirakhur et al., 1987; Eames et al., 1996). Technological advances over recent years have allowed an ever-increasing number of critically ill patients to be monitored by using continuous digital EEG, and it has become clear that ictal activity is common in this environment (Niermeijer et al., 2003; Nuwer, 2007). The continuous EEG monitoring techniques can greatly enhance the neurological assessment and care of critically ill patients to detect early signs of cortical instability, seizures and epileptiform activity; moreover, it can influence decisions to be made concerning therapy and prognosis (Scheuer, 2002; Kilbride et al., 2009).

    Citation Excerpt :

    It cannot be overemphasized, therefore, that electrophysiologic monitoring of ICU patients is crucial in settings where seizures may be a complicating feature of critical illness. Unless a seizure fully resolves and the patient returns to an alert, cognitive baseline, an EEG should be obtained to exclude ongoing ictal activity [78–80]. Timely use of the scalp EEG is critical for establishing the diagnosis of SE and for monitoring of the therapeutic response.
