EEG in Encephalopathy

Please join us for this ON-DEMAND event presented by Dr. Lawrence Hirsch, Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine. We will review EEG findings in patients with encephalopathies of a variety of causes and severities, including nonspecific patterns and those suggestive of specific etiologies. Scales for grading encephalopathy will be discussed as well.At the conclusion of this eSeminar the participants will be able to:

• Identify, describe and understand the implications of slowing, attenuation, generalized rhythmic and periodic patterns, and loss of normal patterns that can be seen in patients with encephalopathy
• Recognize patterns that are suggestive of specific etiologies
• Grade the severity of abnormality in background EEG using a standard EEG grading scale
