This book is designed to meet the need for a practically oriented textbook on the rapidly growing field of critical care EEG monitoring. A wide range of key clinical aspects are addressed, with explanation of seizure classification, criteria for institution of continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring, seizure patterns and their recognition, quantitative EEG analysis, and neuroimaging in patients undergoing cEEG monitoring. The value of cEEG and the nature of cEEG findings in various special situations are then reviewed, covering particular pathologies, critical care considerations, and prognostication. Treatments of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) and nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) are discussed, and the concluding section is devoted to important administrative issues including billing, staffing issues, comparison of EEG machines, and IT issues. Continuous EEG monitoring offers the only reliable means of detecting seizures that are not clinically obvious in critically ill patients. Such seizures are common: studies have shown that approximately 20% of patients undergoing cEEG monitoring in hospital have NCSE or NCS. Against this background, many hospitals have started to offer cEEG monitoring as a basis for delivery of appropriate treatment. _By presenting the state of the art in cEEG monitoring, this book will be invaluable to practitioners including neurophysiologists, neurologists, neurointensivists, intensivists, neurophysiology fellows, and neurology residents.
