Correlation of seizure frequency and medication down-titration rate during video-EEG monitoring

Clinicians should not hesitate to admit patients with low preadmission seizure frequency to the EMU since many of these patients will have a seizure during monitoring. Faster AED down-titration in the EMU increases EMU seizure frequency. In patients who have not yet had a seizure in the EMU, monitoring should continue for at least four days.
