Reducing Time to EEG in Pediatric Convulsive Status Epilepticus: A Quality Improvement Initiative

Pediatric convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is a neurologic emergency that often requires electroencephalogram (EEG) to guide therapeutic interventions. Guidelines recommend EEG initiation within one hour of seizure onset, but logistic and structural barriers lead to significant delays at many centers. We aimed to reduce time to EEG in pediatric CSE to align with these guidelines.
