Official Title: Hyperventilation During Routine EEG in Children: the Impact of Body Position - Sitting vs Supine- on the Yield of the Procedure in Provoking Absence Seizures
Brief Summary: Children referred for routine EEG studies for suspected absence seizures will be asked, upon caregiver's informed consent, to perform 3 minutes of hyperventilation both in the supine position and while sitting up. We aim to demonstrate that hyperventilation is more effective in eliciting absence seizures in a sitting position than while lying down.
