Brain wave watch: could continuous EEG improve ICU outcomes for seizure patients?

This study looks at whether using continuous EEG (a brain wave monitor) in the ICU helps people with a severe, hard-to-stop seizure condition called refractory status epilepticus. Researchers will compare patients who get standard care plus continuous EEG to those who get standard care alone. They want to see if the monitor reduces hospital stay length, deaths, and complications, and improves quality of life. The study is small and aims to gather initial data for a larger future trial.
