How do I prepare for the EMU Admission

To prepare for an EMU Admission:
•   Wash your hair the night before or the day of the test, but do not apply any conditioners, hair creams, sprays or styling gels to your hairs. Hair products use should be avoided as it can make tougher for the sticky patches that are used to hold the electrodes to adhere to your scalp. If you have weaves or braids, need to be removed before a test is completed.
•   Wear loose-fitting clothes
•   Follow your physician’s instructions regarding your medication.
•   Arrive at the hospital on scheduled time, delays can occur if you are late.
•   You may bring electronics like a laptop to use during your stay.

What are EEG and video EEG and their necessity?

Video EEG is nothing but a simultaneous recording of EEG along with a video camera focused on you all the time. You will be admitted, and EEG leads will be connected to you. You will be under the camera for 24 hours while your EEG on. When you have a seizure, it will record the exact movements you do during your seizure activity and simultaneous EEG recordings. This will provide us with the exact idea of the area of your brain accountable for producing these seizures. Generally, 3-10 episodes of seizure will be recorded and so patients usually stay for 5-7 days in the hospital. We generally stop your drugs so that more seizures can be obtained in a short time. It is secure as you are having seizures in a controlled environment of the hospital, supported with doctors and nurses all the time.

Other treatable complications like infections, prolonged hospitalizations, transient deficits, speech problems, mood problems, visual field deficits are common and do not alter the normal daily life.

What are different types of epilepsy surgeries?

Epilepsy surgeries are of two types. In patients where we find a small, focal brain area responsible for epilepsy, we go for resection of that area. These surgeries are called curative surgeries where once that area is removed; patient will be mostly free of epilepsy. However, there is a group of patients in which a large area is responsible, or we could not define a small area or removing complete area is not feasible; surgeries are meant to just reduce seizure frequency and improve quality of life. These surgeries are called palliative surgeries.
