Abstract:
Objective To determine whether the fixation method of electrode of the improved pediatric video electroencephalogram (VEEG) is better than the traditional fixation method. Methods A total of 746 children patients who needed VEEG monitoring were divided into the experimental group and the control group with random digit table with 373 patients in each group. Improved fixation method and traditional fixation method of electrode were adopted during VEEG monitoring in the experimental group and the control group. The advantage and disadvantage of the two fixation method were compared through evaluation of skin injury of scalp and deltoideus triangularis, electrode loss and electrode breakage. Results The incidence of skin injury of scalp and deltoideus triangularis, electrode loss and electrode breakage in the experimental group were 7, 0, 29, and 12, which were less than 29, 6, 71, and 37 of the control group, the differences were of statistical significance (χ2=14.126, 20.371, 13.652, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusions Improved electrode fixation method during pediatric VEEG can avoid skin injury of scalp and deltoideus triangularis, reduce electrode loss and electrode breakage, besides, it also can reduce medical cost and discomfort of children. The modified electrode fixation method proved to be superior to the traditional method and it is worth popularization and application.
