Clinical observation: Rhythmic and periodic EEG patterns in postanoxic coma can possibly be related to propofol discontinuation.

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.
