Resident training and interrater agreements using the ACNS critical care EEG terminology.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Electroencephalography (EEG) remains the gold standard for identifying rhythmic and periodic patterns in critically ill patients. Residents have frequent exposures to EEG and critically ill patients during their training. Our study aimed to assess resident competency in the use of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) critical care EEG terminology.

Methods

After self-guided reading and a 2-hour session reviewing the ACNS critical care EEG Terminology training slides, 16 adult neurology residents (PGY 2-4) completed the ACNS certification test. Performance scores were reported as average percent agreement (PA%) with a previously established 5-member expert panel. Interrater agreement was calculated to gauge consensus among peers within the resident coho
