Dr. Margo Block, DO discusses the impact point-of-care EEG with AI has made in her hospital by giving her team the ability to detect non-convulsive seizures, enabling them to elevate patient care.

John Rickelman, Jr., DO (previously the ICU Medical Director, Blessing Hospital) discusses best practices in neurological assessment and care of severe sepsis patients. This webinar covers literature-based workflow and the impact of incorporating point-of-care EEG in his hospital to assess for coexistent non-convulsive seizures. 

To study how early diagnoses from rapid EEG (rEEG) during the initial evaluation of patients with suspected non-convulsive seizures correlates with changes in anti-seizure medication (ASM) use. Of 100 patients, SZ were found in 5%, HEP in 14%, and no epileptiform/ictal activity in 81%. Forty-six percent of patients had received ASM(s) before rEEG. While 84% of HEP/SZ cases were started or continued on ASMs, only 51% of NL/SL cases were started or continued on ASMs after rEEG (x2 [1, n=100] = 7.09, p=0.008). Thirty-seven patients had received sedation (i.e., propofol or dexmedetomidine) prior to rEEG. In 15 patients (13/30 NL/SL, 2/7 HEP/SZ), sedation was discontinued following rEEG.

Mary Kay Bader RN, MSN, CCNS, CCRN, CNRN, SCRN, FNCS, FAHA of Mission Hospital discusses how her hospital implemented an evidence-based workflow to improve patient care for post cardiac arrest patients and align with the new Joint Commission standards. Attend to hear why prompt EEG after ROSC is included in the AHA Guidelines as part of a multi-modal post cardiac arrest care protocol and how rapid EEG can help you better manage post cardiac arrest patients while improving the hospital’s bottom line.

Seizures detected on both EEG systems had similar electrographic appearance and laterality. Seizures detected only on conventional EEG (within 24 h following Rapid-EEG) were visible in the temporal chains, and external clinical factors (e.g., treatment with anti-seizure medications, sedation, and duration of recordings) explained the delayed presentation of seizures. Patients with seizures detected only by Rapid-EEG were treated with anti-seizure medications, and subsequent conventional EEG detected interictal highly epileptiform patterns with similar laterality.

Adam Green MD, MBA, and Fred Rincon MD, MSc, MBE, MBA, FACP, FCCP, FCCM of Inspira Medical Center and Cooper University share their prospective data and best practices on how their team eliminated unnecessary transfers, optimized patient care, and created a financially beneficial impact on their health system with Ceribell Point of Care EEG.

Eleanor Eberhard, DNP, MBA, RN. VP, CNO. COO of the Dignity Health Sequoia Hospital in California, shares how she implemented Ceribell hospital-wide 24/7 EEG coverage, expediting seizure diagnosis and recovery while leading to a significant reduction in length of stay, cost savings, and revenue optimization, all within 6 months.  

Ceribell Clarity detected NCSE and Persistent Seizure Activity was Aborted.

cEEG monitoring significantly improves detection of seizures/SE and is the only way to detect subclinical seizures/SE. cEEG may be indicated after pediatric TBI, particularly in younger children, AHT cases, and those with intraaxial blood on computerized tomography (CT).
