Description
Currently, EEG is increasingly being adopted in intensive care units (ICUs), where it has become an essential method for patients with various consciousness disorders, not only for patients with epileptic seizures or status epilepticus but generally for critically ill patients. Each chapter is supplemented with a section dedicated to the clinical interpretation of the given EEG pattern. This clinical part discusses the options for treatment, i.e., whether a patient with a given EEG pattern should be treated with antiepileptic medication. At the end of the monograph, there are separate chapters addressing the issue of status epilepticus, the significance of EEG in patients with post-hypoxic brain injury, and specific issues related to childhood. This attractive publication is essential for neurologists called to consult in intensive care units as well as for intensivists.
