The Root SedLine device is utilized for continuous electroencephalography (cEEG)-based sedation monitoring in intensive care patients. cEEG traces can be collected for further processing and calculating additional metrics. However, depending on the device settings during acquisition, the traces may be affected by max/min value cropping or high digitization errors. Our goal was to systematically evaluate the impact of these distortions on the metrics used in clinical research within the field of neuromonitoring.
