Evaluation in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is deemed the gold standard for the definitive diagnosis of epilepsy, allowing the formulation of clinico-electrophysiologic correlations to guide pharmacologic and surgical treatments of epilepsy.1 Optimal management and testing of patients during seizures in the EMU is paramount because it will lead to improved data recording and ultimately reduce any potential risk to the patient. Although long-term video EEG in the EMU is generally safe, vast differences in the processes of care are evident across institutions.2
