BALTIMORE -- Real-time detection of cortical brain injury after a cardiac arrest may be feasible, Feras Al Hatib, Ph.D., said at a conference on clinical electrophysiology sponsored by the EEG and Clinical Neuroscience Society.

He reported results with an investigational system that relies on an BEG cap worn by the patient. The device processes signals sent via a wireless link in the cap to an analysis module that displays the real-time quantitative EEG data on a monitor, said Dr. Al Hatib of Infinite Biomedical Technologies LLC, Baltimore. An alarm sounds when the system's algorithms detect an injury.
