Electroencephalography Technologist Inter-rater Agreement and Interpretation of Pediatric Critical Care Electroencephalography

Pediatric electroencephalography. Parent`s knowledge and experience.

E (EEG) remains the single most important physiologic test of the cerebral cortex. It is a very important tool in investigating and managing children with epilepsy. However, the patient’s cooperation is needed to minimize movement and muscle artifacts, which can interfere with EEG interpretation. When the clinical suspicion of epilepsy is high, and the awake recorded EEG is normal, sleep EEG ma...

The standardization debate: A conflation trap in critical care electroencephalography

PURPOSE Persistent uncertainty over the clinical significance of various pathological continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) findings in the intensive care unit (ICU) has prompted efforts to standardize ICU cEEG terminology and an ensuing debate. We set out to understand the reasons for, and a satisfactory resolution to, this debate. METHOD We review the positions for and against standardiz...

Electroencephalography

Recent advances in electroencephalography (EEG) research are presented. Particular emphasis is placed on sleep and epilepsy research in humans. In this context, among others, studies on the modifications of EEG epileptic activity during sleep are discussed in more detail. A large number of reports come from EEG monitoring during presurgical evaluation and surgical treatment of drug-resistant ep...

Electroencephalography in the Pediatric Emergency Department

This study aimed to identify the indications in which electroencephalography in the pediatric emergency department is most useful. We retrospectively reviewed the influence that the results of the emergent electroencephalogram had on the eventual disposition of patients at our pediatric emergency department. Sixty-eight children (mean age, 7.3 years; 32 males) underwent 70 emergent electroencep...
