Abstract
In this review, we describe and compare clinical and neurophysiological features of MSE and LAS. Generalized epileptiform activity and burst suppression on electroencephalography tend to be more common in MSE, and focal epileptiform activity at the vertex may define LAS. Those with multifocal MSE may have better outcomes than those with generalized MSE. We conclude that neurophysiological testing is vital acutely after cardiac arrest when post-hypoxic myoclonus is present to help determine prognostication and guide decision-making.
