Associated with increased mortality and poor outcomes

Delay in diagnosis of NCS increases mortality

We need more prospective outcome trials...

In 1st 24hrs:

  • PED's
  • Absence of sleep architecture
  • Absences of reactivity
  • GPEDs/BiPLEDs
  • NCSE
  • Absent EEG reactivity
  • GPEDs
  • BiPEDs
  • NCSE
  • Impaired % Alpha reactivity on qEEG

So...

  • Think about seizures
  • Snapshots aren't always the answer
  • Watch this space

What's it good for?

What's new?

Why now?

cEEG

What does a seizure mean?

Detecting Seizures

We don't look for long enough....

We miss it...

NCS & NCSE common

56% in 1st hour

88% after 12-24 hours

93% after 12-48 hours

Triphasic waves

PLEDs

PLEDs Plus

Bilateral independent periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges

If not in a coma, 24 hours sufficient....

If PLEDs present,

monitor for > 24 hours

GPEDs

FIRDA

SIRPID's

In a coma, 48-72 hours recommended

Decreased LOC &

neurological injury

Who?

Monitoring response to treatment

Minimise the dose and adverse effects of AED's
