Daytime intensive monitoring

Comparison with prolonged intensive and ambulatory monitoring A. James Rowan, MD, Michael Siegel, MD and David H. Rosenbaum, MD

Departments of Neurology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York, NY, and the Bronx Veterans Administration Medical Center, Bronx, NY.

We evaluated daytime (6- to 8-hour) intensive monitoring in a consecutive series of 166 studies. Overall success rate in answering clinical questions posed by referring physicians was 67%, and attacks were recorded in 55%. Daytime intensive monitoring provides a useful, cost-effective alternative to prolonged inpatient monitoring and ambulatory monitoring.
