[The prognostic place of EEG in comparison with evoked potentials in severe hypoxic brain damage].
This retrospective study comprises 34 patients, who died due to the cerebral damage caused by severe anoxia, who were assessed by EEG and AEP or SEP on the same day and in whom at least one of these electrophysiological methods indicated a fatal prognosis. EEG-findings identified 76% of patients with fatal outcome, whereas SEP reliably predicted the outcome in 93% of patients, who died of the cerebral anoxia. In some patients centrally acting drugs made EEG-based but not SEP-based prognosis impossible. In some cases of fatal brain damage, however, only the EEG-findings as opposed to SEP-findings predicted the fatal outcome. Thus the combined assessment by EEG and SEP appears to be optimal in the assessment of an early prognosis. The BAEP were of less prognostic value than the EEG. BAEP findings indicating a fatal outcome were to be found mainly in final clinical stages with loss of brainstem function, whereas EEG as well as SEP identified a considerable number of fatal cases in spite of comparably favourable clinical findings. The evaluation of early electrophysiological testing done within the first 3 days after the anoxic event results in an identical estimation of the prognostic significance of EEG versus BAEP- or SEP-findings, respectively.
