Abstract

PURPOSE: Non-convulsive seizures are common in critically ill patients, and delays in diagnosis contribute to increased morbidity and mortality. Many intensive care units employ continuous EEG (cEEG) for seizure monitoring. Although cEEG is continuously recorded, it is often reviewed intermittently, which may delay seizure diagnosis and treatment. This may be mitigated with automated seizure detection. In this study, we develop and evaluate convolutional neural networks (CNN) to automate seizure detection on EEG spectrograms.
