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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Differences in elapsed time (in seconds) to onset of absence seizure between lying supine and sitting up during hyperventilation in routine EEG.
patients to be divided into 3 groups: Response A: occurrence of absence within 0-60 seconds; response B: within 60 - 120 seconds; response C: no occurrence of absence.
6 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Influence of order of performing hyperventilation, first supine and then sitting up, or vice-versa, on the time (in seconds) to occurrence of ansence seizures
6 months
Study Arms (1)
hyperventilation
OTHERNon-drug: performing hyperventilation while sitting up during routine EEG
Interventions
Child will be asked to perform hyperventilation while lying down as well as while sitting up
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children referred for a routine EEG for suspected absence epilepsy
You may not qualify if:
