Abstract
Investigators at Mattel Children's Hospital, UCLA, and University of Colorado, used continuous video-EEG monitoring (cEEG) to study the incidence and risk factors for subclinical early posttraumatic seizures (EPTS) in 87 consecutive, unselected (mild – severe), acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients requiring admission to the PICU.
Highlights
SUBCLINICAL POSTTRAUMATIC SEIZURES DETECTED BY CONTINUOUS VIDEO-EEG MONITORING
Thirty-seven (42.5%) had seizures: subclinical in 16.1%, status epilepticus (SE) in 18.4%, and subclinical SE in 13.8%
SE and subclinical SE were associated with increased hospital length of stay. continuous video-EEG monitoring (cEEG) monitoring significantly improves detection of seizures and is the only way to detect subclinical seizures (SE)
