Disturbance Of Consciousness

This study aimed to investigate the role of long-term video electroencephalogram (VEEG) monitoring in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of children with disturbance of consciousness in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Materials and Methods : A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of 107 children with severe brain injury (SBI) who admitted to the PICU of The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from January 2014 to December 2015. The medical records of 100 children with mild disturbance of consciousness were analyzed. All children underwent routine electroencephalogram (REEG) and VEEG detections. The diagnosis was completed by physicians according to the relevant operation instructions. The brain waveform of children was monitored. Result : The diagnostic results of REEG and VEEG were compared with clinical diagnostic results, and the relationship between the two detections and the prognosis of SBI children was analyzed. The sensitivity of VEEG in the diagnosis of SBI children was significantly higher than that of REEG (P<0.050). The specificity of VEEG in the diagnosis of SBI children was higher than that of REEG, with a statistical significance (P<0.050). The diagnostic compliance rate of VEEG in the diagnosis of SBI children was significantly higher than that of REEG (P<0.050). The sensitivity of VEEG in evaluating the prognosis of SBI children was significantly higher than that of REEG (P<0.050). The specificity of VEEG in evaluating the prognosis of SBI children was significantly higher than that of REEG. The coincidence rate of VEEG in evaluating the prognosis of SBI children was significantly higher than that of REEG (P<0.050). Conclusion: The results indicated that VEEG detection is effective in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of SBI children with disturbance of consciousness, which is worthy of promotion in clinical practice.
