Extra electrodes will also be applied on the shoulders to record your child’s heart rate and muscle activity. Sometimes, they will measure the head beforehand and mark the points with a soft pencil before attaching the electrodes. The CP will attach a number of small silver discs (electrodes) to certain points on your child’s head using a soft past.
It is also important that you do not let your child fall asleep on the way to the hospital. We use a manmade version of the hormone that comes as a liquid, tablet or capsule. Melatonin: This is a naturally occurring hormone found in the brain and is thought to be important in the production of sleep. Sleep deprivation: We ask you to keep your child up past their bedtime for two hours on the evening before the test and then wake them up two hours earlier on the day of the test. We are unable to supervise them during the test.Īs we need your child to sleep during the test, we suggest two methods of facilitating sleep: If you have other children, it is better if they could be looked after at home or by another adult if they come with you. If your child is taking medicines, you should continue to give them as normal. It is helpful if you make sure that your child’s hair is clean before the test, with no mousse, gel, oil or hairspray.
