目的：与火棉胶相比，评价 EC2 (R) (Grass-Telefactor) 粘贴剂在长期视频脑电图监测的耐药性部分性癫痫患者头皮电极放置中的有效性。方法：共有 40 名耐药性部分性癫痫患者参与了该研究。在 20 名患者中，使用火棉胶将电极放置在头皮上（C 组），而在其余患者中使用 EC2（P 组）。电极放置后 (T1) 和记录 24 小时后 (T2)，测量电极的阻抗。此外，还计算并记录了所有参与研究的患者使用电极及其日常维护所需的时间。 结果：每次观察时，C 组的电极阻抗平均值均显着高于 P 组（分别为 TI：16.8 k Omega；T2：6.5 k Omega vs T1：2.4 k Omega；T2：4.0 k Omega）（P < 1 x 10(-5)）。 P 组制作蒙太奇和提供日常维护所需的时间明显短于 C 组 [分别为 20.8 和 10.5 分钟 vs 44.3 和 19.7 分钟 (P < 1 x 10(-5))]。结论：我们发现，与使用火棉胶相比，在头皮电极附着中使用 EC2 糊剂耗时更少，由于电极阻抗值较低，因此记录质量更好。 EC2 糊剂可以替代火棉胶进行电极放置，用于长期视频脑电图监测，在记录性能、时间消耗和安全性方面具有最佳的成本效益比。 (c) 2005 年国际临床神经生理学联合会。由爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of an adhesive paste named EC2 (R) (Grass-Telefactor) in comparison with collodion, for scalp electrodes placement in patients with drug resistant partial epilepsy monitored by long-term video-EEG.Methods: A total of 40 patients with drug resistant partial epilepsy participated in the study. In 20 patients, electrode placement on the scalp was made with collodion (group C) whereas in the remaining patients EC2 was used (Group P). After the electrode placement (T1) and after 24 h of recording (T2), the impedance of the electrodes was measured. Moreover, the time required to apply the electrodes and for their daily maintenance was calculated and recorded for all patients who entered the study.Results: At each observation, group C showed mean values of electrode impedance significantly higher that the group P (TI: 16.8 k Omega; T2: 6.5 k Omega vs T1: 2.4 k Omega; T2: 4.0 k Omega, respectively) (P < 1 x 10(-5)). The time required to make the montage and to provide its daily maintenance was significantly shorter in group P than in group C [20.8 and 10.5 min vs 44.3 and 19.7 min, respectively (P < 1 x 10(-5))].Conclusions: We found that the use of EC2 paste in scalp electrode attachment is less time consuming, with better recording quality as a result of lower electrode impedance values, than the use of collodion.Significance: EC2 paste may substitute collodion in electrode placement for long-term video-EEG monitoring, with an optimal cost-benefit ratio in terms of recording performance, time consumption, and safety.
