Abstract
ABSTRACT.Resuscitation artifacts during EEG have rarely been reported. We describe the artifact produced in the EEG by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of four patients. In these patients, manual chest compression produced movement artifact that resembled periodic sharp waves or slow wave complexes (or both). Often this artifact was reflected in just a few electrodes, depending on the position of the patient's head at the time CPR was performed. For three patients, CPR was unsuccessful and the EEG showed complete absence of cerebral activity. The other patient recovered, and the EEG returned to baseline.
