Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to determine whether the addition of aEEG to cEEG in clinical practice does in fact help PICU physicians detect subclinical seizures in this population.


Clinical Trial Description

Children with moderate to severe TBI are at risk of significant long-term neurological sequelae. Careful post-injury management is crucial in optimizing their recovery. Seizures are a frequent complication. They are associated with worse outcome and require prompt intervention. However, they are often subclinical and are only detectable by gold-standard conventional electroencephalography (cEEG); a costly, complex monitoring device that is not readily available 24/7 in many pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and can only be interpreted by neurologists. On average, PICUs obtain only 1-2 cEEG reports per day from neurologists and this can lead to significant delays in seizure identification and treatment. Amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) is a compressed form of real-time cEEG monitoring that can be added to cEEG monitoring. It is more easy to interpret and can be taught to PICU providers with limited training. It is a promising complementary tool that could help PICU physicians identify subclinical seizures and treat seizures more promptly. This could significantly improve the global outcome of this vulnerable population. ;
