Atlas Of Adult Electroencephalography

Thoroughly revised and updated for its Second Edition, this atlas remains a must-have reference for anyone performing or interpreting EEGs in adults. This new edition shows readers how to maximize the usefulness of digital EEG. Coverage of subdural EEG and EEG in the intensive care unit has been expanded. The book contains more than 500 clear, easy-to-read EEG samples depicting artifacts, normal phenomena, epileptiform abnormalities, nonepileptiform abnormalities, and EEG patterns associated with impaired consciousness. Detailed legends explain the distinguishing features and clinical significance of each pattern.

This edition combines Dr. Blume's two classic books--"Atlas of Adult EEG" and "Atlas of Pediatric EEG"--into a single resource for adult and pediatric epileptologists, neurologists, and neurology trainees.

Blume's Atlas of Pediatric and Adult EEGs combines Dr. Blume's two classic books, the Atlas of Adult EEG and the Atlas of Pediatric EEG, into a single resource for adult and pediatric epileptologists, neurologists, and neurology trainees. This new, consolidated atlas features substantially more digitally obtained illustrations, offers hundreds of new recordings that demonstrate seizure states, normal phenomena, and artifacts, and expands on ICU bedside monitoring with the four-channel abbreviated recording typically used in the intensive care setting. The authors provide examples of typical w.

Organized by wave features rather than pattern names, this atlas helps guide the reader to an EEG interpretation even when the waveform is unfamiliar. The first section takes the reader through the process of characterizing EEG waves by their features. The second section organizes EEG patterns by their features, so provides EEG waveform differential diagnoses. The third section is organized alphabetically by pattern name with each pattern described in a way that allows the reader to distinguish it from similarly appearing patterns. Examples of the patterns also are provided.

This fully updated and revised, 2nd edition will significantly help the visual analysis of EEG by neurologists and other specialists as well as technologists. The book retains the format and presentation that made the first edition successful. It is the most comprehensive EEG atlas on activation procedures, artifacts and normal EEG, covering the full spectrum of normal and unusual patterns observed during wakefulness and sleep, in children and adults. Electroencephalograms are shown in their native format, exactly as they appear in daily practice. Each plate is analyzed, in order to highlight the most significant elements to be used in diagnosis and interpretation. What is new in this edition: 120 new plates out of 180 : 2/3 of the book has been renewed; More physiological rythms, more examples by element; A new and larger size of the book for a better readability; All the plates, including the ones from the first volume, have been updated, and the presentation is much more precise and practical; The principal, full-size plate presents recording speed standard at 30 mm/sec, and is then used in a second plate (figure a) at 15 mm/sec, thus offering a global, more comprehensive vision. This is the only atlas worldwide offering two speeds. All plates have been printed and scanned in high definition, which gives the book an unprecedented quality, compared to other atlases presenting a simple screenshot. All plates come from digitized recordings, compared to other atlases with analogue recordings.

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 new standardized nomenclature for these patterns is included. The Atlas of EEG in Critical Care explains the principles of technique and interpretation of recordings and discusses the techniques of data management, and 'trending' central to long-term monitoring. It demonstrates applications in multi-modal monitoring, correlating with new techniques such as microdialysis, and features superb illustrations of commonly observed neurologic events, including seizures, hemorrhagic stroke and ischaemia. This atlas is written for practitioners, fellows and residents in critical care medicine, neurology, epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology, and is essential reading for anyone getting involved in EEG monitoring in the intensive care unit.

The aim of this extensively illustrated work is to better the knowledge of visual analysis of EEGs for neurologists and other specialists who use electroencephalography as well as EEG technologists. This first volume covers the scope of the main features of physiological EEG wake and sleep activities in children and adults, activation procedures and the most commonly found artefacts. Indeed, a more thorough knowledge of these elements is necessary so as not to misinterpret them as pathological traits.
