Abstract

The objective of the study was to estimate the proportion of patients who receive an electroencephalogram (EEG) among five common indications for EEG monitoring in the intensive care unit: traumatic brain injury (TBI), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), cardiac arrest, cardiac surgery and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We performed a retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study utilizing the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) for the years 2010-2012. The KID is the largest pediatric inpatient database in the USA and it is based on discharge reports created by hospitals for billing purposes. We evaluated the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) or video-electroencephalogram in critically ill children who were mechanically ventilated. The KID database had a population of approximately 6,000,000 pediatric admissions. Among 22,127 admissions of critically ill children who had mechanical ventilation, 1504 (6.8%) admissions had ECMO, 9201 (41.6%) TBI, 4068 (18.4%) HIE, 2774 (12.5%) cardiac arrest, and 4580 (20.7%) cardiac surgery. All five conditions had a higher proportion of males, with the highest (69.8%) in the TBI group. The mortality rates ranged from 7.02 to 39.9% (lowest in cardiac surgery and highest in ECMO).

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
