Video-EEG/polygraphy in status epilepticus

Effective SE management should ideally incorporate a shift from a purely chronological approach to an electro-clinical strategy. Continuous V-EEG/PG is a pivotal diagnostic asset that resolves key ambiguities. The evidence suggests that V-EEG/PG should be considered a standard of care in specific high-risk and ambiguous acute care settings, particularly in patients with stupor/coma post-treatment, altered mental status in metabolic disease, or prolonged, non-stereotyped motor events.
