Neuro Training Academy

Course introduction:
With the advent of digital EEG technology and growth of ICU EEG monitoring, quantitative EEG (QEEG) has emerged as a prominent clinical tool and research area in ICU EEG monitoring. QEEG has demonstrated the potential for improving ICU EEG monitoring by enhancing the speed and efficiency of interpretation as well as the potential for detecting events not easily seen with routine EEG review. This course will focus on the motivations for using QEEG in this setting, along basic principles behind commonly used QEEG algorithms and the application and performance of these for specific clinical indications.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:

• Explain motivations for applying QEEG to ICU EEG monitoring
• Explain basic principles behind commonly used QEEG algorithms, including time and frequency domain tools
• Understand how to use QEEG for specific applications such as seizure detection and ischemia detection, including limitations

Course introduction:
This webinar aims to provide an introduction to multimodal monitoring for neurocritical patients. We will talk about how to add cEEG to ICP Monitoring in ICU, from most basic and routine cases to higher levels of monitoring. Literature and guidelines regarding ICP and cEEG will be discussed and most importantly, why they should be integrated together to provide a better outcome for patients. The webinar aims to provide attendees with sufficient preliminary knowledge before attending further webinars concentrating on individual clinical cases.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:

• Define multimodal monitoring for the neurocritical care patient
• Summarize the value of adding cEEG to ICP monitoring in the ICU
• Identify the integration of ICP and EEG in the literature

Course introduction:
Ambulatory EEG devices offer portable, multi-channel, digital EEG recording with or without video in the patient’s natural environment. The technology applied for AEEG recording is like the technology for routine EEG and inpatient long-term video-EEG monitoring but is designed to be compact and wearable. Computer-based AEEG technology is well suited to digital recording, signal processing, and visual display, however, acquiring interpretable EEG outside of the hospital setting presents different technical challenges.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:

• Compare the role of ambulatory EEG to other forms of short-term and long-term EEG recording
• Understand the technological basis and clinical yield of ambulatory EEG
• Understand the role of ambulatory EEG in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy
• Recognize the future implications of ambulatory EEG monitoring

Course introduction:
Neuronal oscillations are critical for brain function. They serve many functions in healthy humans and are important for the diagnosis and treatment of epileptic seizures. This course reviews the basis of neuronal oscillations and their context in diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy patients and recent findings on the role of neuronal oscillations in the near-death phase and end-of-life cycle.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:

• Understand the basis of neuronal oscillations
• Understand how to diagnose epilepsy
• Understand how to select and investigate patients for epilepsy surgery and review the surgical options for epilepsy
• Review the neurophysiological significance of neuronal oscillations for near-death experiences and life recall
