Procedures before LTM:
- Admitting the patient and introduce yourself, then explain how to do LTM and describe its aim
- Doing MRI with epilepsy protocol
- Washing the patient's hair
- Preparing the instruments for starting the LTM
- Measuring the head with 10-20 system and mark the spots with a red pen
- Doing blood exam with doctor's order
- Considering the patient's consciousness and speech
Procedures during LTM:
- Check the electrode's impedance and change the electrode if it is necessary and put some gel under the electrodes.
- Select the abnormal changes like IED, seizure, subclinical and etc.
- Observe the brain waves and manage the nursing care
- Make a friendly relationship with the patient and take care of her/him and protect the head box and the electrodes
- Do the nursing test
- Record the seizure and inform the doctor and perform his order
Procedures after LTM:
After recording sufficient seizures, call the doctor and remove the electrodes from the patient's head, after 24 hours that the seizure ends, the patient can be discharged. |
