Abstract
PURPOSE EEG reactivity (EEG-R) has become widely used in intensive care units for diagnosing and prognosticating patients with disorders of consciousness. Despite efforts toward standardization, including the establishment of terminology for critical care EEG in 2012, the processes of testing and interpreting EEG-R remain inconsistent. METHODS A review was conducted on PubMed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Inclusion criteria consisted of articles published between January 2012, and November 2022, testing EEG-R on adult intensive care unit patients. Exclusion criteria included articles focused on highly specialized stimulation equipment or animal, basic science, or small case report studies. The Quality In Prognostic Studies tool was used to assess risk of bias. RESULTS One hundred and five articles were identified, with 26 variables collected for each. EEG-R testing varied greatly, including the number of stimuli (range: 1-8; 26 total described), stimulus length (range: 2-30 seconds), length between stimuli (range: 10 seconds-5 minutes), frequency of stimulus application (range: 1-9), frequency of EEG-R testing (range: 1-3 times daily), EEG electrodes (range: 4-64), personnel testing EEG-R (range: neurophysiologists to nonexperts), and sedation protocols (range: discontinuing all sedation to no attempt). EEG-R interpretation widely varied, including EEG-R definitions and grading scales, personnel interpreting EEG-R (range: EEG specialists to nonneurologists), use of quantitative methods, EEG filters, and time to detect EEG-R poststimulation (range: 1-30 seconds). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the persistent heterogeneity of testing and interpreting EEG-R over the past decade, and contributing components were identified. Further many institutional efforts must be made toward standardization, focusing on the reproducibility and unification of these methods, and detailed documentation in the published literature.

Abstract
Consciousness is thought to be regulated by bidirectional information transfer between the cortex and thalamus, but the nature of this bidirectional communication - and its possible disruption in unconsciousness - remains poorly understood. Here, we present two main findings elucidating mechanisms of corticothalamic information transfer during conscious states. First, we identify a highly preserved spectral channel of cortical-thalamic communication that is present during conscious states, but which is diminished during the loss of consciousness and enhanced during psychedelic states. Specifically, we show that in humans, mice, and rats, information sent from either the cortex or thalamus via δ/θ/α waves (∼1-13 Hz) is consistently encoded by the other brain region by high γ waves (52-104 Hz); moreover, unconsciousness induced by propofol anesthesia or generalized spike-and-wave seizures diminishes this cross-frequency communication, whereas the psychedelic 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) enhances this low-to-high frequency interregional communication. Second, we leverage numerical simulations and neural electrophysiology recordings from the thalamus and cortex of human patients, rats, and mice to show that these changes in cross-frequency cortical-thalamic information transfer may be mediated by excursions of low-frequency thalamocortical electrodynamics toward/away from edge-of-chaos criticality, or the phase transition from stability to chaos. Overall, our findings link thalamic-cortical communication to consciousness, and further offer a novel, mathematically well-defined framework to explain the disruption to thalamic-cortical information transfer during unconscious states.

Abstract
PURPOSE The intensive care of critically ill patients with large hemispheric infarction improves the survival rate. However, established prognostic markers for neurological outcome show variable accuracy. We aimed to assess the value of electrical stimulation and quantitative analysis of EEG reactivity for early prognostication in this critically ill population. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients between January 2018 and December 2021. EEG reactivity was randomly performed by pain or electrical stimulation via visual and quantitative analysis. Neurological outcome within 6-month was dichotomized as good (modified Rankin Scale, mRS 0-3) or poor (mRS 4-6). RESULTS Ninety-four patients were admitted, and 56 were included in the final analysis. EEG reactivity using electrical stimulation was superior to pain stimulation for good outcome prediction (visual analysis: AUC 0.825 vs. 0.763, P = 0.143; quantitative analysis: AUC 0.931 vs. 0.844, P = 0.058). The AUC of EEG reactivity by pain stimulation with visual analysis was 0.763, which increased to 0.931 by electrical stimulation with quantitative analysis (P = 0.006). When using quantitative analysis, the AUC of EEG reactivity increased (pain stimulation 0.763 vs. 0.844, P = 0.118; electrical stimulation 0.825 vs. 0.931, P = 0.041). CONCLUSION EEG reactivity by electrical stimulation and quantitative analysis seems a promising prognostic factor in these critical patients.

Abstract
Critically ill children with acute neurologic dysfunction are at risk for a variety of complications that can be detected by noninvasive bedside neuromonitoring. Continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) is the most widely available and utilized form of neuromonitoring in the pediatric intensive care unit. In this article, we review the role of cEEG and the emerging role of quantitative EEG (qEEG) in this patient population. cEEG has long been established as the gold standard for detecting seizures in critically ill children and assessing treatment response, and its role in background assessment and neuroprognostication after brain injury is also discussed. We explore the emerging utility of both cEEG and qEEG as biomarkers of degree of cerebral dysfunction after specific injuries and their ability to detect both neurologic deterioration and improvement.

Quantitative analysis of early-stage EEG reactivity predicts awakening and recovery of consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Br J Anaesth 2023; 130:e225-e232. [PMID: 36243578 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Decisions of withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy for patients with severe brain injury are often based on prognostic evaluations such as analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) reactivity (EEG-R). However, EEG-R usually relies on visual assessment, which requires neurophysiological expertise and is prone to inter-rater variability. We hypothesised that quantitative analysis of EEG-R obtained 3 days after patient admission can identify new markers of subsequent awakening and consciousness recovery. METHODS In this prospective observational study of patients with severe brain injury requiring mechanical ventilation, quantitative EEG-R was assessed using standard 11-lead EEG with frequency-based (power spectral density) and functional connectivity-based (phase-lag index) analyses. Associations between awakening in the intensive care unit (ICU) and reactivity to auditory and nociceptive stimulations were assessed with logistic regression. Secondary outcomes included in-ICU mortality and 3-month Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) score. RESULTS Of 116 patients, 86 (74%) awoke in the ICU. Among quantitative EEG-R markers, variation in phase-lag index connectivity in the delta frequency band after noise stimulation was associated with awakening (adjusted odds ratio=0.89, 95% confidence interval: 0.81-0.97, P=0.02 corrected for multiple tests), independently of age, baseline severity, and sedation. This new marker was independently associated with improved 3-month CRS-R (adjusted β=-0.16, standard error 0.075, P=0.048), but not with mortality (adjusted odds ratio=1.08, 95% CI: 0.99-1.18, P=0.10). CONCLUSIONS An early-stage quantitative EEG-R marker was independently associated with awakening and 3-month level of consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. This promising marker based on functional connectivity will need external validation before potential integration into a multimodal prognostic model.

Abstract
Objective Every year, approximately 50–110/1,00,000 people worldwide suffer from cardiac arrest, followed by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and approximately 40–66% of patients do not recover. The purpose of this study was to identify the brain network parameters and key brain regions associated with awakening by comparing the reactivity characteristics of the brain networks between the awakening and unawakening groups of CPR patients after coma, thereby providing a basis for further awakening interventions. Method This study involved a prospective cohort study. Using a 64-electrode electroencephalography (EEG) wireless 64A system, EEG signals were recorded from 16 comatose patients after CPR in the acute phase (<1 month) from 2019 to 2020. MATLAB (2017b) was used to quantitatively analyze the reactivity (power spectrum and entropy) and brain network characteristics (coherence and phase lag index) after pain stimulation. The patients were divided into an awakening group and an unawakening group based on their ability to execute commands or engage in repeated and continuous purposeful behavior after 3 months. The above parameters were compared to determine whether there were differences between the two groups. Results (1) Power spectrum: the awakening group had higher gamma, beta and alpha spectral power after pain stimulation in the frontal and parietal lobes, and lower delta and theta spectral power in the bilateral temporal and occipital lobes than the unawakening group. (2) Entropy: after pain stimulation, the awakening group had higher entropy in the frontal and parietal lobes and lower entropy in the temporal occipital lobes than the unawakening group. (3) Connectivity: after pain stimulation, the awakening group had stronger gamma and beta connectivity in nearly the whole brain, but weaker theta and delta connectivity in some brain regions (e.g., the frontal-occipital lobe and parietal-occipital lobe) than the unawakening group. Conclusion After CPR, comatose patients were more likely to awaken if there was a higher stimulation of fast-frequency band spectral power, higher entropy, stronger whole-brain connectivity and better retention of frontal-parietal lobe function after pain stimulation.

Abstract
Objective assessment of the brain's responsiveness in comatose patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support is essential to clinical care, but current approaches are limited by subjective methodology and inter-rater disagreement. Quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) algorithms could potentially assist clinicians, improving diagnostic accuracy. We developed a quantitative, stimulus-based algorithm to assess EEG reactivity features in comatose patients on ECMO support. Patients underwent a stimulation protocol of increasing intensity (auditory, peripheral, and nostril stimulation). A total of 129 20-s EEG epochs were collected from 24 patients (age [Formula: see text], 10 females, 14 males) on ECMO support with a Glasgow Coma Scale[Formula: see text]8. EEG reactivity scores ([Formula: see text]-scores) were calculated using aggregated spectral power and permutation entropy for each of five frequency bands ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Parameter estimation techniques were applied to [Formula: see text]-scores to identify properties that replicate the decision process of experienced clinicians performing visual analysis. Spectral power changes from audio stimulation were concentrated in the [Formula: see text] band, whereas peripheral stimulation elicited an increase in spectral power across multiple bands, and nostril stimulation changed the entropy of the [Formula: see text] band. The findings of this pilot study on [Formula: see text]-score lay a foundation for a future prediction tool with clinical applications.

Abstract
Delayed awakening is defined as a persistent disorder of arousal or consciousness 48 to 72h after sedation interruption in critically ill patients. Delayed awakening is either a component of coma or delirium. It results in longer hospital stays and increased mortality. It is therefore a diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic emergency. In severe brain injured patients, delayed awakening may be related to the primary neurological injury or to secondary systemic insults related to organ failure associated with intensive care. In the present review, we propose diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic algorithms for managing delayed awaking in neuro-ICU brain injured patients.

Abstract
This study presents a brief review of literature exploring simple EEG-polygraphic examinations and procedures that can be carried out at a patient's bedside. These include EEG with a common electrode array and sleep evaluation. The review briefly discusses more complex analytical techniques, such as the application of advanced EEG signal processing methods developed by our research group, to define what type of consistent markers are suitable for clinical use or to better understand complex patient conditions. These advanced analytical techniques aim to detect relevant EEG-based markers that could be useful in evaluating patients and predicting outcomes. These data could contribute to future developments in research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine if trigeminal nerve electrical stimulation (TNS) would be an effective arousal treatment for loss of consciousness (LOC), we applied neuroscientific methods to investigate the role of potential brain circuit and neuropeptide pathway in regulating level of consciousness. METHODS Consciousness behavioral analysis, Electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, Chemogenetics, Microarray analysis, Milliplex MAP rat peptide assay, Chromatin immune-precipitation (ChIP), Dual-luciferase reporter experiment, Western blot, PCR and Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). RESULTS TNS can markedly activate the neuronal activities of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) and the spinal trigeminal nucleus (Sp5), as well as improve rat consciousness level and EEG activities. Then we proved that LH activation and upregulated neuropeptide hypocretin are beneficial for promotion of consciousness recovery. We then applied gene microarray experiment and found hypocretin might be mediated by a well-known transcription factor Early growth response gene 1 (EGR1), and the results were confirmed by ChIP and Dual-luciferase reporter experiment. CONCLUSION This study illustrates that TNS is an effective arousal strategy Treatment for LOC state via the activation of Sp5 and LH neurons and upregulation of hypocretin expression.
