Prolonged EEG-taped recording is a significant recent improvement in technique, with the 8 channels providing the possibility of exploration of the whole scalp. First used for ambulatory monitoring, it was also tested in comatose patients with status epilepticus. The advantages are: the the good quality of the EEGs even after recording continuously for many days, and without drawback for intensive nursing; the help in recognizing infraclinical seizures, often misunderstood by the nursing staff, and the control of treatment; the participation in prospective chronobiological studies.

The authors insist on the real improvement of ambulatory EEG recording due to the new 8-channel cassette recorder (Medilog 9000*). They emphasized: (1) its maniability with full independence of patients and physiological sleep recordings at home; (2) its viability, the same as conventional EEG with 8-channel montages; (3) its performant video-screen replay system, with easy paper transcription. The results in 50 ambulatory epileptic patients out of the 100 examinations actually realized in the EEG laboratory with this new device are detailed.
