Event Details
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
