Trial of Device for Seizure Detection Using SEDline During Therapeutic Hypothermia in Cardiac Arrest Victims
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Frontal 4 channel EEG for Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 39 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Current guidelines recommend the use of sedatives and neuromuscular blocking agents to avoid shivering during therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest victims. Therefore, it is difficult to detect seizure and the frequent or continuous EEG monitoring is recommended. However, it is difficult to follow this recommendation in most clinical situations due to the lack of specialized devices and persons. The purpose of this study is whether SEDline (frontal 4-channel EEG device) has a diagnostic value to detect seizure during therapeutic hypothermia in cardiac arrest victims.
