The Effectiveness of a Staff Education Program on the Use of Continuous EEG With Patients in Neuroscience Intensive Care Units

Abstract: Approximately a third of patients in neuroscience intensive care units (ICUs) experience subclinical seizures and, as a result, are at higher risk for poor outcomes. The use of continuous electroencephalography (cEEG) monitoring can help nurses detect seizure activity and initiate early prevention. Nurse competency in the use of cEEG is important to facilitate effective bedside monitoring. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a staff educational program aimed at improving the knowle… Show more

“…Beginning at 18:00, there are multiple events with rhythmicity and increased EEG amplitude and frequency. Raw EEG confirmed that these were electrographic seizures literature has shown the feasibility of training neurocritical care nurses to recognize electrographic seizures on raw EEG, but further research is needed to demonstrate generalizability [23].…”
