Atlas of electroencephalography in critical care

text EEG basics -- EEG in encephalopathy -- Seizures and status epilepticus -- Periodic discharges and other controversial EEG patterns -- EEG in cerebrovascular disease -- Artifacts that can mimic seizures or other physiologic patterns -- Prolonged EEG monitoring and quantitative EEG techniques for detecting seizures and ischemia -- Evoked and event-related potentials in the ICU.

Remote Includes bibliographical references and index. As the population ages, technology improves, intensive care medicine expands and neurocritical care advances, the use of EEG monitoring in the critically ill is becoming increasingly important. This atlas is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the uses of EEG monitoring in the critical care setting. It includes basic EEG patterns seen in encephalopathy, both specific and non-specific, nonconvulsive seizures, periodic EEG patterns, and controversial patterns on the ictal-interictal continuum. Confusing artefacts, including ones that mimic seizures, are shown and explained, and the ne.
