Dr. Christian Guay Publishes Follow-Up EEG Research in "Anesthesiology"
We are proud to share that Dr. Christian Guay has published the long-awaited second installment of his electroencephalography (EEG) education series in Anesthesiology, the flagship journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists!
His new article, “Clinical Electroencephalography for Anesthesiologists and Intensivists: Part 2—Physiologic Signatures and Active Management” (2025), builds upon his foundational 2015 publication, “Clinical Electroencephalography for Anesthesiologists: Part I—Background and Basic Signatures.”
Together, these two peer-reviewed works offer a comprehensive guide to understanding and applying EEG in the operating room and ICU, with Part 1 establishing core concepts and Part 2 advancing into clinical interpretation and real-time decision-making.
A Decade of Progress in EEG Education
When Part 1 was published in 2015, EEG interpretation for anesthesiologists was gaining traction but was far from routine. Dr. Guay’s work helped lay the educational groundwork for broader adoption, breaking down complex neurophysiology into practical concepts clinicians could use intraoperatively.
Part 2 arrives at a time when EEG monitoring has become increasingly relevant for titrating anesthesia, preventing burst suppression, managing difficult airways, and supporting critical care decision-making. The new article dives deeper, offering:
- Key physiologic EEG signatures relevant to anesthesia and critical care
- Guidance for adjusting anesthetic management based on EEG patterns
- Clinical scenarios that demonstrate how EEG can improve safety and precision
- A framework for integrating EEG into routine practice
Advancing the Field Through Clear, Clinically Useful Guidance
The publication of this follow-up article reflects Dr. Guay’s longstanding commitment to improving how anesthesiologists use EEG to care for patients. By bridging theory with actionable bedside knowledge, his work continues to support clinicians around the world who seek to provide individualized, physiology-informed anesthesia care.
We celebrate this meaningful contribution to the field and congratulate Dr. Guay on advancing a decade of scholarship dedicated to improving patient monitoring, safety, and outcomes.
