Clinical Trial Summary

Knowledge of the basic fundamental skills of electroencephalography would enable medical and nursing staffs to provide efficient and effective bedside EEG monitoring in critically ill patients.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a 10-points EEG teaching program to allow bedside caregivers (medical and nursing intensive care unit staff) interpreting EEG in the critical care setting.

Intervention

Other:
• Critical Care EEG Course
Medical and nursing staff will be given a 10-points EEG face-to-face initial training course followed by an online teaching and educational quizzes at day-1, day-15 and day-30 after initial training. A final evaluation will be performed at day-90 after beginning of the training course. 10-points EEG educational objectives : physiological rhythms, reactivity, symmetry, effects of sedation, burst suppression, paroxysmal activities, periodic / pseudoperiodic activities, rhythmic activities, artifacts, null EEG

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Overall EEG interpretation	Percentage of learners with a correct answer rate.Training will be considered as efficient if more than 75% of learners are associated with a correct answer rate above 80% to EEG interpretation test at day 90 after initial training.	at Day 90
Secondary	Before/After Comparison	Comparison of correct answer rate between pre-test and post-tests evaluations at day 1, day 15, day 30 and day 90 after face-to-face training Analyzes will be carried out according to each of the 10-points educational goals, according to the medical or nursing staff category, according to the student's degree and according to the center and to usual way of using EEG (continuous, sequential, external provider)	from Day 1 to Day 90 after face-to-face training
