Implementation and Early Evaluation of a Quantitative Electroencephalography Program for Seizure Detection in the PICU.

Objectives: To describe implementation and early evaluation of using quantitative electroencephalography for electrographic seizure detection by PICU clinician staff.

Design: Prospective observational study of electrographic seizure detection by PICU clinicians in patients monitored with quantitative electroencephalography. Quantitative electroencephalography program implementation included a continuous education and training package.

The Prognostic Value of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in Children After Cardiac Arrest: The SEPIA Study.

Purpose: Absent cortical somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) reliably predict poor neurologic outcome in adults after cardiac arrest (CA). However, there is less evidence to support this in children. In addition, targeted temperature management, test timing, and a lack of blinding may affect test accuracy.

Consensus-based guidelines for Video EEG monitoring in the pre-surgical evaluation of children with epilepsy in the UK.

Purpose: Paediatric Epilepsy surgery in the UK has recently been centralised in order to improve expertise and quality of service available to children. Video EEG monitoring or telemetry is a highly specialised and a crucial component of the pre-surgical evaluation. Although many Epilepsy Monitoring Units work to certain standards, there is no national or international guideline for paediatric video telemetry.
