Department Details
The 2 West Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) specializes in the care of patients with epilepsy and seizure disorders. The EMU is a highly specialized unit where patients are electively admitted and monitored continuously, 24 hours a day, for up to five consecutive days. Using advanced monitoring technology and a multidisciplinary approach, our team works to safely capture and evaluate seizure activity to help guide diagnosis and treatment.
The primary goal of the EMU is to capture events in a controlled and safe environment. During their stay, patients may have anti-seizure medications adjusted or temporarily discontinued under close medical supervision. Additional methods such as sleep deprivation, hyperventilation, and photic stimulation may be used to help provoke events for diagnostic purposes.
Patients are admitted to the EMU for a variety of reasons, including:
Classification of seizure-like events
Localization of seizure activity for potential epilepsy surgery
Evaluation and diagnosis of epilepsy syndromes
Rapid adjustment and optimization of anti-seizure medications
