Using artificial intelligence to optimize anti-seizure treatment and EEG-guided decisions in severe brain injury

Electroencephalography (EEG) is invaluable in the management of acute neurological emergencies. Characteristic EEG changes have been identified in diverse neurologic conditions including stroke, trauma, and anoxia, and the increased utilization of continuous EEG (cEEG) has identified potentially har...

description Electroencephalography (EEG) is invaluable in the management of acute neurological emergencies. Characteristic EEG changes have been identified in diverse neurologic conditions including stroke, trauma, and anoxia, and the increased utilization of continuous EEG (cEEG) has identified potentially harmful activity even in patients without overt clinical signs or neurologic diagnoses. Manual annotation by expert neurophysiologists is a major resource limitation in investigating the prognostic and therapeutic implications of these EEG patterns and in expanding EEG use to a broader set of patients who are likely to benefit. Artificial intelligence (AI) has already demonstrated clinical success in guiding cEEG allocation for patients at risk for seizures, and its potential uses in neurocritical care are expanding alongside improvements in AI itself. We review both current clinical uses of AI for EEG-guided management as well as ongoing research directions in automated seizure and ischemia detection, neurologic prognostication, and guidance of medical and surgical treatment.
