- 2:46 special last epaulettes resources not previously
- 2:50 all for it in the BA are now available the Epilepsy Center for Excellence
- 2:55 work two maxima available resources to sweep of
- 3:01 be a we offer a full complement
- 3:05 services for the advanced valuation patients with epilepsy
- 3:08 the simplest most advanced brain imaging techniques
- 3:11 which are intended to identify potential areas in the brain me causing seizures
- 3:15 to current first place
- 3:16 this also includes advanced brainwave testing otherwise known as
- 3:20 electroencephalography this allows us to determine what types of seizures a
- 3:25 person is having
- 3:26 as well as localize where they may be coming from the brain
- 3:30 first thing that we do is we measure Walmart patient's head
- 3:33 we use of my head marking pencil take measures appear calpers
- 3:37 the purpose for measure mark in the head as we want to ensure
- 3:40 accuracy a place in the electrodes what's we've got to scale
- 3:45 marked then we will use help wrap
- 3:48 that is abrasive that we gently brought the patient scale
- 3:51 with we will take the electrodes we've put
- 3:56 a conducted thing in the cup with that electrode
- 3:59 place in all the patients help and then we use a piece of tape to secure that
- 4:04 electro to the patient scale
- 4:06 when the brain waves a review we compare the left side of the brain to the right
- 4:10 we're looking at frequency and amplitude of the way
- 4:14 that means how fast and how large the way for
- 4:18 when people have seizures the brain waves to come faster reznick
- 4:22 if you have a spare set change in mood pay
- 4:26 sensation are consciousness you may have SBS a seizure
- 4:31 calmly recognize symptoms include
- 4:34 like steering chewing family
- 4:38 wondering shaking thank abuse
- 4:43 be a true see isn't
- 4:46 and no electric active in the brain
- 4:50 what is epilepsy
- 4:53 a condition that causes spontaneous reoccurring
- 4:56 seizures there are two main types of seizures
- 5:00 in patients with epilepsy their partial seizures
- 5:03 and there's generalized seizures partial seizures are seizures that sort of in
- 5:08 one area of the brain
- 5:09 and then spread partial seizures are three main types
- 5:12 their simple partial seizures simple partial seizures
- 5:16 are a sense of or a a sense that something is about to happen
- 5:20 miss me in all a feeling of numbness twitching
- 5:23 sensation of deja vu or other such
- 5:26 sensations the next type of seizure
- 5:30 is a complex partial seizure complex partial seizures
- 5:34 involved in loss of awareness the patient doesn't realize what's going on
- 5:39 around them
- 5:40 this may be associated with lip smacking and movements are other such behaviors
- 5:45 the harder typeof seizures are partial seizures without secondary
- 5:49 generalization
- 5:50 the seizures involve spread
- 5:53 a future activity to both sides of the brain often result in loss of
- 5:57 consciousness
- 5:58 the patient having convulsions which are obvious to everyone
- 6:02 and this is one all parts of the body are shaking hope you know I'm able to
- 6:07 job more veterans from our branches and service
