The Benefit of Neuromuscular Blockade in Patients with Postanoxic Myoclonus Otherwise Obscuring Continuous Electroencephalography (CEEG)

<div>Effect of cisatracurium on continuous electroencephalography (CEEG). (a) The CEEG is completely obscured by myogenic artifact. After neuromuscular blockade, generalized continuous slowing is seen. (b) Myogenic artifact obscured the CEEG. After neuromuscular blockade, generalized slowing along with lateralized right slowing is seen. (c) Rhythmic myogenic artifact partially obscured the CEEG. After neuromuscular blockade, 3 Hz generalized periodic discharges were seen consistent with nonconvulsive status epilepticus.</div>
