How parents can help

For an EEG, your child must:

• Come awake to the test (no sleeping in the car!)
• Fall asleep during the test (because some brain waves only appear in sleep)

Follow the appropriate preparation instructions:

• Instructions for Sleep Deprivation.
• Preparation for Sedation.
• Preparation for an EEG
• Preparation for Intensive Monitoring (IM) or Ambulatory Monitoring (AM)
• Preparation for an Electromyogram (EMG) / Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)
• Preparation for Visual Evoked Potential (VEP)
• Preparation for a Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER)
• Preparation for a Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SEP)

• It is very important to be on time!!!!
• Please try to arrive 30 minutes before the test to find parking and/or register at Patient Registration in the main lobby.
• Being late for your appointment only cuts into your child's testing time.
• If you have a 7:00 am appointment, go directly to the EEG Department.

• If you are late for your appointment, go directly to the EEG Department.
