Identifying epileptogenic zones non-invasively is challenging due to signal interference by the scalp and skull, necessitating invasive methods like subdural recordings and stereoelectroencephalography. Recent microcatheter advancements suggest that a microcatheter-compatible endovascular EEG (eEEG) device could overcome these barriers. We developed a thin, flexible eEEG electrode, the EP-01, for use with current microcatheters.

Goal: Efficient patient flow is critical at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), a large academic tertiary care center and safety net hospital with more than 50,000 discharges and 30,000 surgical procedures per year. TGH collaborated with GE HealthCare Command Center to build a command center (called CareComm) with real-time artificial intelligence (AI) applications, known as tiles, to dynamically streamline patient care operations and throughput. To facilitate patient flow for our neuroscience service line, we partnered with the GE HealthCare Command Center team to configure a Downgrade Readiness Tile (DRT) to expedite patient transfers out of the neuroscience intensive care unit (NSICU) and reduce their length of stay (LOS).

Background: Cervical spine clearance of pediatric trauma patients requires consistent, clear documentation for multidisciplinary trauma team members to provide safe care. Yet, cervical spine clearance often remains inconsistently and inappropriately documented.
Objective: This study evaluated the effects of a cervical spine clearance documentation initiative on documentation adherence rates.
