The Role of Processed Electroencephalography in the Detection and Management of Acute Cerebral Ischemia: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Processed electroencephalography (pEEG) is increasingly used to titrate the depth of anesthesia. Whether such intra-procedural pEEG monitoring can offer additional information on cerebral perfusion or acute focal or global cerebral ischemia is unknown. This scoping review aimed to provide a narrative analysis of the current literature reporting the potential role of pEEG in adults with acute cerebral ischemia. In keeping with the scoping review methodology, a broad search strategy was defined, including descriptions of encephalography in acute ischemic stroke, carotid endarterectomy, cardiac surgery, and cardiac arrest. Additional screening of citations was conducted by 2 independent assessors. From 310 records, 28 full-text articles met inclusion criteria. Most identified studies were obs
