Abstract

We previously reviewed our strategy to reopen our electroencephalography (EEG) laboratory at Nationwide Children's Hospital following a period of near closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Between March 2020 and May 2020, only emergent and urgent EEGs were completed with the recognition that prolonged postponement of nonurgent EEGs had potential to negatively affect patient care. Over 400 open EEG orders were evaluated for urgency and mostly postponed. The evolution of state- and hospital-based recommendations, including the gradual return to performing nonurgent procedures, has necessitated a modification of our EEG laboratory's disease mitigation strategies. We present those modifications here. The safety of our technicians, patients, caregivers, and community remain paramount in our recommendations.
