Real-time monitoring of brain health is essential after severe brain injury
Over 1.2 million patients in the US per year suffer from severe brain injury and receive intensive care in days to weeks following the initial injury. Effective care in the post-injury period is critical to prevent secondary brain damage and optimize outcome.
Stroke
150,000
CASES PER YEAR
Following initial injury from a severe stroke, patients are at risk for brain injury due to insufficient blood flow or elevated intracranial pressure. Continuous EEG can identify these changes and allow a clinician to intervene before additional permanent brain damage occurs.
Traumatic Brain Injury
200,000
CASES PER YEAR
Medical complications and untreated downstream effects of initial damage can lead to secondary brain injury. Continuous EEG can detect changes as they occur to allow clinicians to intervene prior to worsening brain damage.
Cardiac Arrest
250,000
CASES PER YEAR
Loss or decrease of blood flow to the brain can lead to permanent brain damage. Continuous EEG is critical to help guide clinical decision making to optimize heart function and preserve brain health.
Premature Birth
150,000
CASES PER YEAR
Babies born prematurely can suffer from hypoxic brain injury and seizures in the days to weeks spent in the neonatal ICU. Continuous EEG can uniquely identify these changes and help clinicians prevent permanent brain damage in these children.
Uncontrolled Seizures
300,000
CASES PER YEAR
