Objective To summarize the method of quality management in long term video electroencephalogram (VEEG) monitoring process.Methods To summarize the VEEG monitoring process in 4 935 patients, the following methods were adopted: adequate preparation before examination, selection of suitable electrode wearing methods, regular inspection of the quality of the lead wire, inspection and observation of whether the electrodes have fallen off, process inspection, behavioral intervention guidance, timely manage the artifacts, pay more attention to the inducted experimental, timely identification of paroxysmal events, standardize the procedures for the management of seizures, standardize the processing of electrode cleaning and disinfection, continuously improve the quality.Results Four hundred and tworoy are paroxysmal events of various types occurred during the monitoring period. All of them were handled in time and the patients were all safe. Among these events, 4 children ended the examination in ahead of the normal procedure due to fever, crying or other reasons. two patients were transferred to intensive care unit due to changes in patients ’conditions such as hypopnea and decreased oxygen saturation of artery blood of finger. The remaining 4 829 patients completed VEEG detection for 8 ~ 24 h. and got good quality images.Conclusions Quality management is a guarantee of qualified, high quality, low artifact EEG reports.
