Patients admitted to the hospital with acute neurological problems have a high risk of having seizures. Since most of the seizures are nonconvulsive, continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is necessary to detect them. Up to 20% of critically ill patients undergoing cEEG monitoring are found to have seizures or status epilepticus. CEEG monitoring is being recognized as a necessary tool in the evaluation of neurologically critically ill patients. In this presentation, the implementation of a cEEG monitoring service will be discussed. Additionally, the proper selection of patients, duration of monitoring and the conditions for which cEEG monitoring is most useful will be discussed.
