How does infantile electroencephalogram do

summary

Our child has been 3 years old and is in good condition all the time. But these days, he suddenly has vomiting and diarrhea, and there are no other special symptoms. The doctor said to do an EEG, so he did it after the child fell asleep. Today, let me learn how to do EEG for children.

How does infantile electroencephalogram do

First: do electroencephalogram words generally do not need sleep state, awake state has electroencephalogram, sleep state also has specific electroencephalogram. Patients can only move in bed, certainly can't go home, also can't leave the hospital.

Second: EEG is mainly used to detect whether there is abnormal discharge of brain cells, especially for the diagnosis of early childhood epilepsy. The recording time of routine EEG is about 20-40 minutes, and that of dynamic EEG is about 24 hours.

Third: the changes of electroencephalogram (EEG) can be different from those recorded when children are awake. Children with mental disorders or uncooperative children are difficult to record when they are awake, which is often carried out in sleep. In some children, EEG abnormalities only appear or become obvious during sleep. Therefore, it is very important to be familiar with the changes of sleep EEG and its clinical application in children.

matters needing attention

Whether the EEG is to stimulate the brain with electricity will not cause human pain, nor cause any damage, and the sequelae will not appear. Parents must eliminate their children's fear. During the EEG scanning, indoor personnel should avoid walking back and forth, causing interference.
