Continuous electroencephalography in pediatric traumatic brain injury: Seizure characteristics and outcomes

Conclusion Continuous electroencephalography demonstrated a pattern that associated seizures and poor outcomes in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, particularly in a subgroup of patients with nonaccidental trauma. Best practice should include institution-based TBI cEEG protocols, which may detect seizure activity early and promote outcomes. Future studies should include examination of individual cEEG characteristics to help improve outcomes in pediatric TBI.
