[Centralized system for EEG-diagnosis and EEG-monitoring in a neurologic intensive care unit (author's transl)].

: A centralized EEG system installed in a neurologic intensive care unit is described. It is the first step to a computerized EEG monitoring which on the basis of conventional EEG recordings already permits a "brain monitoring" to some extent. It consists of a system for total EEG diagnosis which is connected with a central EEG laboratory via long-distance transmission lines, and of a system for EEG-monitoring which is part of the general beside monitor system. The possibilities of this system are demonstrated in monitoring of patients with epileptic seizures.
