Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of comfort levels in patients during long-term video electroencephalographic(VEEG) monitoring on the monitoring effect. Methods A total of 168 patients with consecutive epilepsy were observed about the Bruggrmann comfort scale(BCS) and artifacts of VEEG during VEEG monitoring. Pearson′s correlation coefficient was used to evaluate a possible correlation between BCS and artifacts. Results The average single score before VEEG, including psychological comfort, social comfort, comfortable environment and overall comfort was (2.87±1.04), (2.63±0.98), (2.40± 1.25), (2.84 ± 0.90), (2.69 ± 1.07) points, which was (2.06 ± 1.38), (1.66 ± 1.40), (1.89 ± 0.57), (1.83 ± 1.24), (1.86 ± 1.19) points after VEEG. There was significant difference between 2 groups (t=4.011-6.353, P<0.05). The overall comfort score and the average single project blinks or eye movement artifacts, physical artifacts, chewing or swallowing artifacts and electrocardiogram artifacts were negatively correlated (r=-0.843--0.585, all P < 0.05), which would reduce the number of these artifacts when increased; there was no correlation (r=-0.204,-0.158, P>0.05) between the average single score of comfort and sweating, skin artifacts, and electrocardiogram artifact. Conclusions There is a significant negative correlation between patient's BCS and the occurrence of artifacts during VEEG monitoring. Comfort evaluation and comfort care before monitoring has great significance in raising the long-term VEEG monitoring accuracy.
