Event Details
Course introduction:
This webinar by James Lewis, R.NCS.T., CNCT will focus on common pitfalls encountered during NCS. In daily clinical practice we may at times go on auto pilot just as, for example, when we drive home the same way every evening we sometimes can go on “auto pilot.” We get home and cannot remember if we stopped at the stop sign or not.
Our days in the NCS/EMG Lab can sometimes be similar. Things are going well, and we go on auto pilot. But things do not always go smoothly. Some patients are more challenging than others.
So, what are some of these things that go wrong and what can we do about it. This presentation will address these through interactive audience participation.
Learning objectives:
- Review common pitfalls
- Review uncommon pitfalls
- Review two common anomalies
