Here we report 4 patients presenting with seizure who had cardiac arrest leading to their deaths while being on continuous video-EEG (cVEEG) monitoring and one-lead cardiac telemetry. Purpose: We illustrate characteristic stepwise EEG and EKG changes in these critically ill patients prior to their death. Research Design\/Study Sample: All patients showed progressive broad spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias at or before the beginning of EEG suppression while there were no such changes seen in a control group of 4 randomly selected patients without cardiac arrest who had seizure on presentation and underwent cVEEG monitoring. Data Collection and Results: There was a progressive decline in EEG potentials associated with decreasing heart rate starting from the posterior region, more pronounced on the left, progressing to complete unilateral deactivation of the left fronto-central head regions while the right-sided networks became hyperactive before bilateral deactivation by the time of asystole. Conclusions: This case series provides a rare opportunity to compare EEG and EKG changes in patients who died while being on continuous EEG and EKG monitoring from hours to minutes prior to cardiac arrest and death.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/19418744231174950","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]],"date-time":"2023-05-12T22:12:25Z","timestamp":1683929545000},"page":"371-375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Continuous EEG Characteristics in Critically ill Patients Presenting With Seizures Prior to Death From Cardiac Arrest"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6826-3593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tian","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Venkatesh K.","family":"Raman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4827-5236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gholam K.","family":"Motamedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Georgetown University Hospital, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/cjn.2016.309"},{"key":"bibr2-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1550059419865679"},{"key":"bibr3-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1308285110"},{"key":"bibr4-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0028-3932(97)00129-2"},{"key":"bibr5-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.1006"},{"key":"bibr6-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/qjmed\/hcs016"},{"key":"bibr7-19418744231174950","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/CCM.0000000000000818"}],"container-title":["The Neurohospitalist"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/19418744231174950","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/19418744231174950","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/19418744231174950","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]],"date-time":"2026-04-30T22:56:29Z","timestamp":1777589789000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/19418744231174950"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/19418744231174950"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/19418744231174950","relation":{},"ISSN":["1941-8744","1941-8752"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1941-8744","type":"print"},{"value":"1941-8752","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]]}}}
