Point-of-care EEG?

Point-of-care testing brings diagnostics rapidly to the bedside of patients. A variety of instruments and test kits have gradually made their way into pediatric practice. Transcutaneous bilirubin measurement has been popularized in the newborn nursery. Pulse oximetry and portable ultrasonography are mainstays in the pediatric emergency department (ED). Is there a role in the ED for reduced-lead electroencephalography (EEG), somewhat akin to amplitude integrated EEG in the neonatal intensive care unit?
