Official Title: The Effect of Child Position on the Results of Hyperventilation During Routine Electroencephalography
Brief Summary:
Electroencephalograhy (EEG) is used as a tool for diagnosing epilepsy/convulsions.
During the recording, especially for childen who are suspected of having abbcence epilepsy the investigators will perform an EEG recording including a provocation test of hyperventilation in order to induce epileptic discharges.
There is no clear instruction about the position of the child during performing this hyperventilation provocation.
Clinical observations showed that this provocation is more effective when it's performed in the siiting position.
No study was previously performed to investigate this issue
