This decision tree tool is designed exclusively for educational purposes. It is intended to support the learning and professional development of EEG technologists, neurodiagnostic professionals, and students preparing for certification examinations.
This tool does not provide medical diagnoses. It is a simplified framework to help users think through the differentiation of seizures from artifacts and should not be used as the sole basis for any clinical decision.
All EEG interpretations and clinical decisions must be made by qualified medical professionals. This tool does not replace the expertise, clinical judgment, and direct review of a board-certified neurologist, epileptologist, or clinical neurophysiologist.
Users must always follow their institution's protocols, policies, and established standards of care. When in doubt, consult your supervising physician or attending neurologist.
โก This tool should NEVER replace the review and confirmation of a qualified medical professional.
