Predictive roles of electroencephalogram in patients with ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Stroke is one of the main causes of adult disability and death, and ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke. Therefore, it is of great significance to evaluate the condition and outcome of patients with ischemic stroke timely and accurately. As a cheap, non-invasive and multi-functional technology, electroencephalogram (EEG) can directly reflect the abnormal state of brain function and metabolism, and is more sensitive to brain damage caused by the decreased cerebral blood flow. It has important significance in predicting the outcome of patients with ischemic stroke. This article reviews the changes of EEG after ischemic stroke and the characteristic EEG changes related to the outcome of ischemic stroke.
