An observational study in Status Epilepticus, Altered Level of Consciousness and Non-epileptic Seizures, sponsored by University College Cork. Completed at 1 site in Ireland. Open to participants aged 0 Months to 176 Months. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-05-16.
Sponsored by University College Cork · Observational
Children frequently present with altered or reduced consciousness levels to emergency departments. By using EEG monitoring, subclinical seizure activity may be detected, leading to earlier pharmacological intervention and improved outcomes. Post-ictal phases that may be interpreted as seizure activity may become less over-treated. A feasibility study will ascertain if EEG monitoring can be applied successfully in this cohort, within a specified time period, obtaining minimum artefact (defined as \< 25% artefact). EEG recordings will not be used to guide clinical management during this feasibility study.
