Also part of the UPMC family:
Our private specialized Epilepsy Monitoring Unit using advanced monitoring before, during, and after a seizure to help our Neurology team to develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
At UPMC Harrisburg, our two-bed specialized Epilepsy Monitoring Unit helps providers:
Using Electroencephalography (EEG), brain activity is continuously monitored with computer-based equipment designed specifically to evaluate seizure disorders. This advanced monitoring can gather data before a seizure starts, while one is occurring and during recovery. This information helps the Neurology team develop a treatment plan individualized for each patient.
You will have a private room furnished with a flat-screen television, Wi-Fi access, a sitting area and a recliner for a family member or friend to visit with you. Your room also has a private bathroom and shower. Nursing staff is specially trained to respond to seizures with your safety as the primary concern.
For the EEG exam, you will wear small electrodes that are attached to a computer, which collects and analyzes data to determine the severity of your condition and identify the area of the brain that is causing seizures. In addition, your activities are captured on film to provide neurologists a very clear picture of what happens when symptoms are active.
Neurologists review your recordings daily and discuss a plan of care with you and your family.
