Description
SPRINGER PUBLISHING COMPANY Atlas of Intensive Care Quantitative EEG by Marcus C. Ng Jin Jing M. Brandon Westover
Atlas of Intensive Care Quantitative EEG is the first resource fully dedicated to quantitative EEG (QEEG) analysis, tailored to any physician or EEG technologist who works with critically ill patients. With the rise of continuous EEG monitoring in intensive care, clinicians are increasingly called on to make real-time clinical judgements with little formal guidance on how to interpret QEEG. This book is configured to meet daily practice challenges. It addresses not only technical fundamentals, but also provides numerous examples of signature QEEG patterns and artifacts to instruct both untrained and experienced eyes.Comprehensive in scope, this unique atlas walks the reader from essential principles all the way through to practical pattern recognition. With full-page reference samples pairing raw EEG with quantitative EEG spectrograms, brief clinical vignettes, and explanatory captions noting significant features, this book provides a roadmap for understanding and applying QEEG data in critically ill patients. Unrivaled in the breadth of its coverage and level of detail, its thorough discussions of both normal and abnormal findings and QEEG artifacts set the standard for effective use of quantitative electroencephalography and trend analysis in the ICU. Complete with a broad range of patterns and page after page of full-color samples, this book is designed to be the authoritative QEEG reference for neurologists, intensivists, technologists, and trainees working in critical care settings.Key Features:Includes full spectrum of abnormal ICU QEEG findings with multiple examples of each pattern to assist readers in recognizing the range of findings encountered in clinical practiceContains more than 400 full-page vivid color QEEG examples paired with raw EEG to build interpretive skills and enhance clinical decision-makingConcise presentation of fundamental principles of QEEGDetailed analysis of QEEG artifacts that can be mistaken for abnormal findingsPurchase includes access to the ebook for use on most mobile devices or computers Section One: Principles of Quantitative ElectroencephalographyChapter 1: Introduction to EEG SpectrogramsQualitative and Quantitative EEG AnalysisOscillations: EEG BackgroundTransients: Brief EEG EventsEvolving Patterns: Long EEG EventsTechnical Considerations: Trade-Offs in Spectral Estimation Detail versus Noise Temporal versus Spectral ResolutionUnderstanding ICU EEG Spectrograms: Cardinal Patterns Regular Flames Choppy Flames Broadband Monotonous (BBM) Narrowband Monotonous (NBM) Stripes Suppressed ArtifactSection Two: Clinical Practice of Quantitative ElectroencephalographyChapter 2: Normal Findings, AwakePosterior Dominant Rhythm Supraharmonic Subharmonic Mu Rhythm Beta Activity Lambda WavesChapter 3: Normal Findings, Drowsiness & SleepHypnagogic Hypersynchrony Stage II Sleep Frontocentral Beta Activity Slow Roving Eye Movements Positive Occipital Sharp Transients Vertex Waves Sleep Spindles K Complexes Mittens Rapid Eye Movement SleepChapter 4: Benign Variants14 6 Positive Spikes 6Hz Phantom Spike WaveWaking, High Amplitude, Male (WHAM) Female, Old, Low Amplitude, Drowsiness (FOLD) Atypical Wicket WavesSmall Sharp Spikes Rhythmic Midtemporal Theta Activity of Drowsiness (RMTD) Ciganek Rhythm Sawtooth Waves Subclinical Rhythmic Electroencephalographic Discharges of Adults (SREDA)Chapter 5: Activation ProceduresHyperventilation Occipital Driving Asymmetric Visual Evoked Potentials Subharmonic Photomyoclonic Response Photoparoxysmal ResponsePhotoconvulsive ResponseChapter 6: Interictal Abnormalities, SlowingFocal Temporal Frontal Central Occipital Generalized Alpha Coma Spindle Coma Theta Coma Electrocerebral InactivityChapter 7: Interictal Abnormalities, Sporadic DischargesTemporal Frontal Centroparietal Occipital Rolandic MultifocalChapter 8: Ictal, Seizure(s)Temporal Frontal Centroparietal Occipital Hemispheric Paroxysmal Fast Activity Generalized Tonic-ClonicAbsence, Typical Absence, Atypical Myoclonic Slow Spike & Wave ElectrodecrementalChapter 9: Ictal, Status EpilepticusChapter 10: The Interictal-Ictal Continuum, Rhythmic Delta Activity (RDA)Lateralized (LRDA) Generalized (GRDA) Bilateral Independent (BI-LRDA) Multifocal (MF-RDA)Chapter 11: The Interictal-Ictal Continuum, Periodic Discharges (PD)Lateralized (LPD) Generalized (GPD) Bilateral Independent (BIPD) Multifocal (MF-PD)Chapter 12: The Interictal-Continuum, Triphasic Modifier ( TW)Chapter 13: The Interictal-Ictal Continuum, Spike-Wave (SW)Lateralized (LSW)Section 3: Artifacts in Quantitative ElectroencephalographyChapter 14: Non-Cerebral Quantitative Electroencephalographic ArtifactsAlternating CurrentBreach RhythmCardioballisticChest PercussionElectrocardiogramElectroretinogramElectrodeEye BlinkingGlossokineticMyogenicNystagmus Lateral RotationalOcular BobbingPacemakerPulseRespiratorShiveringSnoringSweatingTwitchingVagal Nerve StimulatorVentilator
