Electroencephalography (EEG) is playing an increasingly important role in the management of comatose patients in the intensive care unit.
The techniques of EEG monitoring are reviewed. Initially, standard, discontinuous recordings were performed in intensive care units (ICUs). Later, continuous displays of "raw EEG" (CEEG) were used. More recently, the addition of quantitative techniques allowed for more effective reading.
Applications of continuous EEG to clinical problems are discussed. The most useful role of CEEG appears to be the detection and management of nonconvulsive seizures. There is a need for controlled studies to assess the role for CEEG in neuro-ICUs and general ICUs.
脑电图（EEG）在重症监护病房昏迷患者的管理中发挥着越来越重要的作用。
对脑电图监测技术进行综述。最初，在重症监护病房（ICU）进行标准的、间断性记录。后来，采用了“原始脑电图”的连续显示（CEEG）。最近，定量技术的加入使得阅读更加有效。
讨论了连续脑电图在临床问题中的应用。CEEG最有用的作用似乎是检测和管理非惊厥性癫痫发作。需要进行对照研究以评估CEEG在神经ICU和普通ICU中的作用。
