Objective Many patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) have pre-existing or
acquired neurological disorders which significantly affect their short-term and long-term …

Objective The relative importance of neurologic dysfunction in critically ill mechanically
ventilated patients has not been well studied. This study investigates the prevalence of …

Critically ill patients are frequently at risk of neurological dysfunction as a result of primary
neurological conditions or secondary insults. Determining which aspects of brain function …

OBJECTIVES: Critically ill patients are at high risk of acute brain injury. Bedside
multimodality neuromonitoring techniques can provide a direct assessment of physiologic …

STUDY AIM: To provide a consensus of European leading authorities about the optimal use
of clinical neurophysiological (CN) tests (electroencephalogram [EEG]; evoked potentials …

Sedation is a ubiquitous practice in ICUs and NCCUs. It has the benefit of reducing cerebral
energy demands, but also precludes an accurate neurologic assessment. Because of this …

Objectives: In critically ill patients, the assessment of neurologic function can be difficult
because of the use of sedative agents. It is not known whether neurologic signs observed …

Brain injury is frequently observed after sepsis and may be primarily related to the direct
effects of the septic insult on the brain (eg, brain edema, ischemia, seizures) or to …

Objectives: Determine the utility of the neurologic examination in comatose patients from
nontraumatic causes in the modern era. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting …

Encephalopathy and other neurologic morbidities are common in critical illness, sepsis, and
prolonged mechanical ventilation. We assessed structural changes on brain imaging and …
