The EEG Superhero Just for Our Littlest Patients
Rescue the Seizure Catcher helps our pediatric patients and their parents experience a positive in-home EEG with video study.
Children can often feel anxious or worried about undergoing a prolonged EEG-video, especially when they do not know what to expect.
Rescue the Seizure Catcher is there to educate, motivate and reward your child every step of the way.
A positive experience helps your child to complete the study successfully.
When EEG studies are successfully completed, your doctor will have the greatest diagnostic yield possible for a more accurate diagnosis.
Getting answers for your child's seizure-like events are what we do best. Rescue helps gather the best quality information in which to evaluate your child's symptoms which includes:
Rescue the Seizure Catcher will arrive at your home ready to help you and your child have the very best prolonged EEG-video experience possible.
From the time your phyisican orders the EEG until the time of study disconnect, Rescue navigates children and their parents/caregivers/guardians/families through the process.
BEFORE THE STUDY: When your doctor discusses the prolonged in-home EEG with video study, you should receive a complimentary Rescue the Seizure Catcher booklet that informs and educates both you and your child about what to expect with the upcoming EEG such as:
STUDY SET-UP: RSC’s EEG Technologists are ready to break down the walls of fear and transform the EEG study into an exciting experience. Our Technologists are encouraged to wear a colorful cape, yellow arm bands and mask, similar to Rescue’s, while at your home.
DURING THE STUDY: Rescue leaves the EEG set-up by providing your child with a special sticker chart as a reward for achieving certain milestones during the study such as staying on camera, using the patient diary, etc.
STUDY DISCONNECT: Rescue returns to your home to conduct the study disconnect. After all leads are disconnected, your child earns a Certificate of Completion, signed by Rescue that declares they are now an official Honorary Superhero for a job well done!
