Inpatient epilepsy

Through its partnerships with United Hospitals and Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota in St. Paul, Minnesota Epilepsy Group offers two separate ten-bed video-EEG monitoring units. These state-of-the-art facilities feature fully computerized recording systems with 24-hour attended monitoring by experienced EEG technical staff.

Admission to the epilepsy unit provides the opportunity for a patient’s seizures to be recorded and characterized, seizure medications to be changed in a safe environment, and for precise localization of seizure onset.

Minnesota Epilepsy Group has achieved EEG laboratory accreditation through the American Board of Registration for EEG and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET). At the time of this accreditation in 2006, Minnesota Epilepsy Group was the first lab in the state and one of approximately 30 in the country to receive this honor. The Laboratory Accreditation Board of ABRET requires high standards are met with regard to staffing, continuing education and development, safety, policies, procedures, quality of recordings, and ongoing internal review to assure a high level of patient care. The EEG staff of Minnesota Epilepsy Group is proud to uphold these standards.
