Abstract

Purpose To determine safety and efficacy of hyperventilation (HV) during electroencephalography (EEG).Methods We report the findings of a prospective multicentre National Service Evaluation of the occurrence of adverse events, seizures and interictal epileptiform discharges seen in association with HV during EEG, in a relatively unselected, largely out patient population of 3475 being investigated predominantly for possible epileptic seizures.Results Adverse events occurred rarely, and there were no reported significant cerebrovascular, cardiovascular or respiratory events. Of the 3170 patients suspected of 'epilepsy or possible epilepsy' 69 patients (2.2%) had seizures provoked by HV, but only one (0.03%) had a generalised tonic clonic seizure. The elicitation or increase of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) was seen in 387 (12.2%) of the total 3170 patients with suspected epilepsy who hyperventilated. Furthermore 31 patients (0.9%) had psychogenic non-epileptic seizures.Conclusion HV is rarely associated with adverse events, but contributes to the diagnosis and classification of seizure disorders in an appreciable proportion of patients with epilepsy and non-epileptic attacks. These findings confirm that HV in selected patients is a valid activation technique in diagnostic EEG, where the potential benefits out weigh the risks, and also provide information that may assist the informed consent process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
