Protocol implementation resulted in earlier continuous EEG initiation and more EEGs initiated before seizure onset with evidence of altered seizure dynamics. Although current recommendations suggest that continuous EEG duration of 24-48 hours results in seizure detection for >90% of critically ill adults, longer monitoring may be needed to reliably detect seizures in children supported with ECMO, particularly if monitoring is initiated earlier in the post-cannulation period.
