Abstract:Background
Up to 25 percent of patients suffering from an acute stroke are diagnosed with delirium during the hospital stay, with older age increasing the risk. Generalized slowing in the electroencephalogram (EEG) supports the diagnosis of delirium. We examined the potential of single-channel EEG (DeltaScan®) as an easy-to-use device on intensive care units for detecting delirium. Our aim was to compare clinically established delirium diagnoses with bihemispheric EEG recordings and single-channel EEG to anal… Show more
