Also Known As:
A 1-hour digital EEG is a diagnostic test used to measure the brains electrical activity over a shorter period. This procedure is particularly useful for monitoring patients who may have occasional neurological symptoms, such as seizures, fainting spells, or episodes of confusion. By placing small electrodes on the scalp, the EEG detects and records brain waves, identifying irregularities that may indicate issues such as epilepsy, brain injury, or sleep disorders. The test is non-invasive and painless, although the patient may be asked to relax or remain still during the procedure. An EEG can capture abnormal brain activity that occurs in real-time, allowing clinicians to assess brain function and identify any potential issues. This test can be performed while the patient is awake, although in some cases, a longer or sleep-deprived EEG may be recommended for a more thorough assessment of the brain’s electrical activity.
1. Head to be washed . head should not be oily.
2. Should not be empty stomach.
3. Contiinue all regular medications
4. Pt not to move during study app 20 min .
5. Sedation may be required for children or uncoperative pts.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
