    AbstractPrognostication of comatose patients after cardiac arrest aims to identify patients with a large probability of favourable or unfavouble outcome, usually within the first week after the event. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique that is increasingly used for this purpose and has many advantages, such as its non-invasive nature and the possibility to monitor the evolution of brain function over time. At the same time, use of EEG in a critical care environment faces a number of challenges. This narrative review describes the current role and future applications of EEG for outcome prediction of comatose patients with postanoxic encephalopathy.Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
