Benefits of Continuous EEG Monitoring in the ICU

Monday, June 16, 2025
In the fast-paced environment of the intensive care unit (ICU), rapid detection and intervention can mean the dif-ference between recovery and irreversible brain injury. Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring has risen as an es-sential tool for real-time brain surveillance in critically ill patients. Unlike routine EEGs, cEEG provides an unin-terrupted window into brain function, enabling clinicians to detect nonconvulsive seizures and monitor evolving neurological conditions with precision.

How EEG Monitoring Tracks Abnormal Brain Waves During Sleep

Friday, May 16, 2025
If you or a loved one is undergoing long-term, overnight EEG, it's natural to have questions about what this test is and why it's important. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a safe, pain-free test that records the electrical activity of your brain. Even while you sleep, your brain is busy producing electrical signals (brain waves). Many abnormalities of the brain function can be detected during sleep. EEG monitoring during sleep can reveal im-portant clues about your brain's health by tracking these signals and highlighting any abnormal brain waves. In this patient-friendly guide, we'll explain how sleep EEG monitoring works, why it's done, and what to expect.

What Not To Do During An Ambulatory EEG

Wednesday, April 30, 2025
Ambulatory EEG (aEEG) has changed the way we diagnose and manage neurological conditions, especially epilepsy. This tool allows for continuous monitoring of brain activity for extended periods in settings outside of a hospital. Although aEEGs allow for more freedom, it's important to be aware of certain precautions and activities that can interfere with their accuracy.

Ambulatory EEG vs. Continuous EEG

Wednesday, April 23, 2025
EEG (electroencephalogram) is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate abnormal brain activity. Two of the most common types of EEGs are ambulatory (aEEG) and Continuous (cEEG). These offer different insights based on how they're used and the type of brain events captured for seizure investigations.

What Is Long-Term Video EEG Monitoring?

Monday, March 24, 2025
Long-term video EEG monitoring is a diagnostic procedure used for patients experiencing seizures or unexplained neurological symptoms. Unlike standard EEG tests, this service simultaneously captures continuous brain wave data and video recordings of patient behavior, often over several days. By correlating EEG patterns with visible symptoms on video, neurologists can accurately diagnose events that shorter EEGs might miss. Remote video EEG monitoring services like those offered by Neurotech can capture and analyze significant amounts of neurological events, providing neurologists with comprehensive insights into patient conditions.

Understanding Generalized and Focal Slowing Through EEG Monitoring

Wednesday, March 12, 2025
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a key tool in neurology that records the brain’s electrical activity via scalp electrodes. When reviewing EEG results, neurologists often pay special attention to slow brain waves – signals of lower frequency (theta or delta ranges) than the normal awake rhythm. These slow waves can appear either across the entire brain (generalized slowing) or confined to a specific region (focal slowing). Seeing whether slowing is generalized or focal is important because it helps pinpoint the nature of the underlying brain dysfunction. In this article, we delve into what causes slow brain waves on an EEG, explain the differences between generalized and focal slowing, and highlight why having expert EEG monitoring services from companies like Neurotech is vital for accurate diagnosis and patient care.

What Is Video EEG Monitoring and How Does It Work?

Friday, February 14, 2025
A video EEG (electroencephalograph) is a specialized test that combines continuous video recording with EEG monitoring. This allows technicians to visually observe the patient when a seizure occurs. Comparing EEG readings with video will help determine the type of seizure and its frequency.

The History of Ambulatory EEG

Wednesday, January 29, 2025
Ambulatory electroencephalography (aEEG) represents a groundbreaking evolution in neurophysiology. Its development shows the intersection of technological innovation, clinical necessity, and a drive to improve patient outcomes. It begins with a standard EEG and a need for monitoring epileptic activity in natural environments. Understanding the history of ambulatory EEG will give you a glimpse of how technological barriers were overcome. This guide will walk you through the timeline of advancements in ambulatory EEG.

How to Sleep with an Ambulatory EEG at Home

Monday, January 20, 2025
Sleeping with an ambulatory EEG can feel unfamiliar at first, especially if it's your first time with the process. The device monitors brain activity over an extended period, typically while you go about your normal routine. Doctors choose to work with ambulatory EEG monitoring companies because it allows the tests to be completed at home. This comes with several benefits, including comfort and convenience.
