EEG (electroencephalogram)

a recording of the electrical changes occurring in the brain, produced by placing electrodes on the scalp and amplifying the electrical potential developed. The EEG shows three main types of wave called alpha, beta and delta, that differ in their rates of production. Delta waves are the slowest and are found normally only during sleep.

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

A record of the tiny electrical impulses produced by the brain's activity. By measuring characteristic wave patterns, the EEG can help diagnose certain conditions of the brain.

AMS is a significant challenge to emergency department (ED) physicians because it is a manifestation of a wide range of medical syndromes and does not indicate a specific diagnosis.3 Sudden onset diseases with AMS such as epilepsy metabolic disorders encephalopathy and encephalitis consist of a large proportion of ED admissions (up to 10% of the patients).34 The ED practitioner who is faced with a patient with AMS may find a quick EEG helpful in ensuring efficacious patient care.1 EEG may have a great value in AMS patients with normal neuroimaging findings.4 However EEG is underused or often not available in EDs.
