Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Background and objectives: Given the inherent risks of seizure provocation in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU), both miscommunication and incomplete training about the importance of when and why certain measures are taken can cause critical gaps in care for patients in an especially vulnerable state. To provide a framework that would help minimize these potential pitfalls, our objectives were 2-fold: (1) identify deficits in EMU safety and assessment using a checklist of predetermined items, including key measures essential to the care of EMU patients and (2) develop a simulation training program to address these deficits with education for staff on …
