The purpose and indications for continuous electroencephalography monitoring (CEEG) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients include seizure detection, monitoring the effects of treatment (including depth of sedation), grading and classification of EEG abnormalities, ischemia detection and prognostication. Practical considerations of ICU CEEG include: choice of montages (patterns of electrode placement and connections), EEG electrodes, recognition of artifacts, and the use of automated or computerized analysis. These aspects are reviewed, along with an identifcation of current advances and challenges for the future of CEEG in the ICU.
