EEG Signal in ICU, EMU and OR

Course introduction: 
During this webinar presentation Dr. Aashit Shah will discuss the EEG recording as an adjunctive tool in the care of patients with epilepsy but that its use, has been limited over the years due to perceived lack of specificity and limited technological capabilities. In last 2 decades, with progress in computer technology and digital EEG recording and analysis, the simultaneous video EEG recording has become a powerful tool in diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy syndromes and surgical treatment of epilepsy. It is also being increasingly used as an adjunct for care of patients where the neurological exam is limited. With increasing knowledge of temporal changes in EEG and analysis of these trends as well as, technological advances in signal processing and remote monitoring, it is becoming an integral part of neurocritical care and in the operating room. The lecture will review digitization of EEG signal and its effects, evolution of long-term EEG and intraoperative monitoring and its current use in neurological/neurosurgical care and will discuss future use of EEG signals in care of various neurological conditions.

Learning Objectives:

• Review evolution of EEG recording and journey from analog to digital EEG
• Review use of video EEG in ambulatory and inpatient setting in care of patients with epilepsy
• Discuss evolution of EEG in coma, SE, and cardiopulmonary arrest
• LTM in ICU and future trends
• EEG and EPs in IOM of neurological function
