Brainstorming in neuro pt

[nurseguinness]

Neuro nurses. What do you know about brainstorming in neuro pt? I come from a hospital that called a state that the pt. was in where increase heart rate, almost convulsion looking state brainstorming. The docs said it was not a seizure but now I am at a hospital in Neuro ICU and no one knows what I am talking about.

Have ya'll heard of this. If so do you know the definition and also know where i can get some info on it. Thanks.

I have never witnessed this, but have heard of it. Does the patient loose consciousness, like a tonic clonic seizure, or can they be aware during the event?
