-If neurological problems are a concern be sure to ask neurology if your son should have additional EEG monitoring during the sleep study. During a sleep study generally the EEG is primarily used to monitor sleep stages. If there is any concern about the possibility of seizures additional EEG leads can be used to get a fuller picture of brain activity.
THIS! Because your son has a history of encephalopathy, this is extremely important that seizures be ruled out.
Ok thanks. I will definitely bring this up. He would not be pleased to have another sleep study with more leads as getting those attached was his least favorite part.
But we will do what needs to be done.
