[EEG technician-nurse collaboration during stereo-electroencephalography]

Area of Science:

• Pediatric Neurology
• Neurosurgery
• Medical Imaging

Background:

• Drug-resistant epilepsy presents significant challenges for children's quality of life.
• Epilepsy surgery is a potential therapeutic option for pediatric patients with refractory seizures.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight the critical role of interdisciplinary teamwork in pre-surgical epilepsy evaluations.
• To emphasize the importance of stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) in assessing pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy.

Main Methods:

• Pre-surgical assessment for drug-resistant epilepsy.
• Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) procedures.
• Collaboration between nursing staff and electroencephalogram technicians.

Main Results:

• Effective teamwork between nurses and EEG technicians is crucial for successful pre-surgical evaluations.
• SEEG provides vital data for surgical planning in pediatric epilepsy.

Conclusions:

• Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for optimizing outcomes in pediatric epilepsy surgery.
• The combined expertise of nurses and technicians enhances the diagnostic accuracy of SEEG.
