Handbook of ICU EEG Monitoring addresses a wide range of technical and clinical issues involved in successfully monitoring critically ill patients to detect seizure activity and prevent serious nervous system impairment. Divided into five sections, the handbook covers image acquisition and other technical considerations, clinical indications, EEG interpretation, treatment, and practical and administrative concerns such as billing and coding and report generation. Written by leading experts in this emerging field, the chapters are brief and formatted for maximum utility with bulleted text, pearls, and take-home points to reinforce key information. Full-page examples of routine and quantitative EEG findings hone interpretative understanding and build skills for detecting clinically significant EEG changes in the ICU.
