title: Technical tips: Electrode safety in pediatric prolonged EEG recordings.
abstract: Electrodes are an essential element of electroencephalography. Complications related to the use of recording electrodes are known to occur but not much is known about the mechanism, risk factors, and incidence of such complications. In this study, we wanted to identify the incidence and potential risk factors for electrode related skin injuries. We found that such injuries occur in 11.4% of children.
