Summary

The purpose of this study is to understand if a new, smart, wireless EEG developed by our team can be used to monitor the continuous electrical activity of the brain in the ICU and EMU and whether it works as well as the current standard, wired EEGs.

Detailed description

The investigators propose to 1) optimize these devices for use in pediatric ICU patients, 2) demonstrate safety, reliability, and accuracy of these devices for continuous ICU EEG signal measurements, and 3) demonstrate these devices are preferred by patients and parents to current EEG devices. Once validated, such sensors could fundamentally change the way patients are monitored by EEG in the ICU, allowing wireless, continuous, real-time detection of brain wave activity in ICU patients, reducing limitations in mobility as well as access by staff and caregivers to the patient, and ultimately offering opportunity to reduce morbidity and mortality in ICU patients.
