Inpatient long-term video-electroencephalographic monitoring event capture audiovisual diagnostic quality.

Objectives: Long-term video-electroencephalographic monitoring (LTVEM) represents the gold-standard method to evaluate whether events represent electrographic seizures, but limited work has evaluated the quality of inpatient event capture. We evaluated the frequency of audiovisual factors impairing the ideal electroclinical correlation of seizure-like episodes during LTVEM.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive inpatient LTVEM studies (11/2019-12/2019) from three academic epilepsy centers.

Carbapenem-Resistant Associated with COVID-19.

Infections with carbapenem-resistant are emerging as an important challenge in healthcare settings. Currently, carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) are the species of CRE most commonly encountered in hospitals. CRKP is resistant to almost all available antimicrobial agents, and infections with CRKP have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality, particularly among persons with prolonged hospitalization exposed to invasive devices.
