The Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) is a specialized inpatient unit designed to evaluate, diagnose, and treat seizures using state of the art continuous video-EEG monitoring technology. Patients may come to UNM EMU for diagnosis of typical spell or seizure, localization of seizure, or anti-epileptic medication adjustment. Your care will be provided by comprehensive team members of board certified epileptologists, neurologists, fellows, neurology residents, advanced practitioners, nurses, medical assistants, case managers, EEG technologists, EEG monitoring technicians, pharmacists, nutritionists, and epilepsy coordinators.
As the only level 4 NAEC epilepsy center in NM, we perform 1400 continuous video-EEG monitorings, 2000 routine/ambulatory EEGs per year. We also see over 220 EMU admissions and over 2000 outpatient visits per year.
