Summary

Emergency electroencephalograms (EEGs) are valuable for diagnosing non-convulsive and subtle status epilepticus, and for managing convulsive status epilepticus. This study confirms EEG

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Clinical Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Emergency situations necessitate rapid and accurate diagnostics.
  • The precise role of electroencephalogram (EEG) in emergent conditions requires definition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify reasons for ordering emergency EEGs.
  • To assess EEG's diagnostic contribution and impact on patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 111 consecutive emergency EEGs over 3 months.
  • Analysis of ordering indications and clinician interviews regarding EEG impact.

Main Results:

  • Top indications: suspected cerebral death (21%), non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE, 19.7%), subtle status epilepticus (SSE, 14%).
  • EEG contributed to diagnosis in 77.5%; confirmed suspected diagnoses in 36%.
  • NCSE and SSE confirmed in 43.3% and 45% respectively; treatment changed in 37.8% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • Emergent EEG is valuable for managing convulsive status epilepticus post-treatment and ruling out SSE.
  • EEG aids in diagnosing NCSE in patients with altered mental status or wakefulness.
  • EEG remains a reliable, cost-effective tool in defined emergency neurological situations.
