Clinical Electroencephalography
No full textThis book describes the developments and improvements in electroencephalography (EEG). In
recent years, digital technology has replaced analog equipments, and it is now possible to
easily record and store EEG tracings and to quickly recall previously acquired material for
subsequent analysis. In addition, not only static figures, but also electronic supplementary
materials can be included in books, enabling EEGs to be viewed in real-time. In clinical
practice, EEG still represents the most important functional examination in the study CNS
development and its anatomical and physiological integrity throughout life. In the pathological
context, EEG provides indispensable diagnostic information for classification of epileptic
syndromes, and it is also valuable in all the other CNS diseases (infectious, cerebrovascular,
neurodegenerative, etc). Furthermore, monitoring EEG can be widely used in emergency
settings, such as emergency departments or intensive care units. In comatose patients, EEG
provides information regarding prognosis and evaluation of the sedative effect of anesthetic
drugs. Written by a group of leading national and international experts, it offers a substantial,
yet practical, EEG compendium, which serves as a reference resource for physicians and
neurodiagnostic technologists as well as physicians-in-training, researchers, practicing
electroencephalographers and students
