Course introduction:
Please join us for this ON-DEMAND event of a previously broadcast eSeminar 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.
Learning Objectives:
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
