Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of whole-course nursing interventions on artifacts in children′s video electroencephalogram (V-EEG) monitoring.Methods A total of 135 children with epilepsy who underwent V-EEG examination in Peace Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from December, 2017 to December, 2018 were selected as study objects.They were divided into observation group and control group according to the examination time.The control group included 66 outpatient children monitored from December, 2017 to June, 2018, and the observation group included 69 hospitalized children from July, 2018 to December, 2018.Among them, routine nursing intervention was conducted before V-EEG examination in the control group, and whole-course nursing intervention was conducted in the observation group on the basis of routine nursing intervention.The success rate of electroencephalogram monitoring and the incidence of false difference in the two groups were compared, and the reasons for unsuccessful monitoring were recorded.Results Emotional instability, electromagnetic wireless signal interference and repeated electrode shedding were the main causes of monitoring failure.The incidence of false positives in the observation group (13.0%) was lower than that in the control group (34.1%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The whole-course nursing intervention plays a significant role in the success of children′s V-EEG monitoring, which effectively reduces the incidence of artifacts during the examination, and provides a basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment.
