  • 1

    Advanced neuromonitoring approaches may enhance detection of neurologic complications in ICU patients compared to standard clinical examinations.

  • 2

    Continuous electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for identifying seizures in comatose patients, with up to 40% having nonconvulsive status epilepticus.

  • 3

    Multimodal neuromonitoring integrating various data types is recommended, as no single modality captures the full range of neurologic changes.

  • 4

    Automated pupillometry offers more accurate assessments of pupillary responses and strong prognostic accuracy in hypoxic ischemic brain injury.

  • 5

    Limitations in the evidence base include a focus on primary neurologic injury and the need for specialized expertise for neuromonitoring tools.
