This study is looking at how seizures are managed in critically ill children at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Researchers are observing children who are already getting continuous EEG monitoring (a test that measures brain activity) as part of their regular care. The goal is to understand what puts children at risk for seizures and to see how well current seizure management strategies work. This study is not testing a new medicine; it's observing how doctors currently use clinically indicated EEG monitoring and seizure management. You might be able to join if you are a child between 1 month and 18 years old, are in the Pediatric ICU at CHOP, and are already getting continuous EEG monitoring. The study will look at how often seizures happen over 3 days.
