title: What type of EEG (or EEG-video) does your patient need?
abstract: For many years, EEG has been synonymous with 'routine' EEG, a short recording without video. With digital technology, there are now many ways to perform EEG recordings. Variable attributes of EEG recordings include: inpatient versus outpatient, prolonged versus short, with video versus without, and with provocation/activation versus without. Each method has advantages and disadvantages, and, in particular, inpatient versus outpatient studies have major cost differences. In some situations EEG-video monitoring can be performed in the ambulatory/home rather than the inpatient setting.
