Event Details

Course introduction:
The prompt detection and treatment of non-convulsive seizure (NCS) and non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is an important part of the optimal care patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Bedside ICU nurses have critical role in detecting and treating NCS and NCSE. This lecture will describe the adoption of continuous EEG monitoring program in a neurotrauma ICU using the framework of the integration of continuous electrocardiograph monitoring.

Course Objectives:

  • Explain the rationale for cEEG in the neurotrauma pt population.
  • Describe how non-convulsive status epilepticus can alter brain perfusion in the sTBI patient.
  • Discuss the methods for cEEG including surface EEG, depth electrodes, and cortical strip.
  • Understand the nurses roles and responsibilities in cEEG, the training needed to implement an effective program, and how to engage bedside nurses in a new program.

    Lawrence Chyall is the Neuroscience Clinical Nurse Specialist and Neuroscience Programs manager at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. His research and clinical interests focus on continuous EEG and ECOG in patients with severe TBI and ICU and on the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with spinal cord injury. He is committed to expanding the role of neuro ICU nurses to integrate EEG into their practice.
    Lawrence holds degrees from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco, both of which he attended as an adult learner, coming to nursing as second career following a 15 years as a sommelier. Failing to pass the Theory portion of the Master Sommelier examination he traded his tastevin for a stethoscope without regret.
