RPP might be related to propofol discontinuation rather than an expression of severe brain damage, especially in case of, and congruent with, a continuous pattern at the time of propofol discontinuation. This opens a new insight in this phenomenon and its transient nature. In clinical practice, we suggest to consider the timing of propofol discontinuation when assessing the EEG signal in postanoxic patients.
