Course introduction:
In this presentation, Dr. Natalia Gonzalez from Duke Health will review ultrasound basics and focus on Neuromuscular Ultrasound (NMUS) as a useful tool in the evaluation of patients with peripheral nerve and muscle diseases. NMUS when used in conjunction with electrodiagnostic studies provides not only structural but also dynamic information which can improve the diagnostic process and patient care. Clinical application of NMUS in mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, motor neuron disease and muscle disorders will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eSeminar the participants will be able to:
- To review the basics of ultrasound technology in relation to imaging of nerve and muscle
- To describe protocols and techniques commonly used in the evaluation of focal neuropathies
- To review the utility of ultrasound in the evaluation of neuropathies, myopathies, and motor neuron disorders

Course introduction:
DCI is the most common complication after aneurysmal SAH and is responsible for most of the long-term disability.
While its optimal treatment is still unknown, several studies indicate that cEEG is a promising tool for its management. In this lecture, we will review the pathophysiology of DCI, how ischemia and DCI affects cerebral activity and how the EEG can be used to detect DCI and guide therapies.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:
- To learn the current pathophysiological model of DCI after SAH
- To review the key EEG changes associated with brain ischemia and DCI
- To learn how to use cEEG for early detection and management of DCI

Event Details
Course introduction:
Intracranial pressure (ICP) remains an important marker when caring for severely brain-injured patients. Guidelines suggest monitoring patients with elevated ICP with either an external ventricular drain (EVD) or an intraparenchymal monitor. Monitoring ICP by either method is a nursing responsibility. Do we truly understand how we are measuring ICP and how to capture the correct value to maximize patient care? Join experts Linda Littlejohns and DaiWai Olson for a real talk on what we think we know and what we should know.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eSeminar the participants will be able to:
- Define intracranial pressure.
- Discuss monitoring ICP with an intraparenchymal catheter.
- Discuss monitoring ICP with an external ventricular drain.
- Evaluate ICP best practices.
Natus Medical Incorporated is a provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing.
Provider Number 16614 for 1.0 contact hour.

Event Details
Course introduction:
Adult and Paediatric EMG share many features in common. Both use similar equipment and consumables and base their examination on the same fundamental neurophysiological principles. There the similarities end, with crucially important differences relating to the patients themselves and to the range of pathologies to which they are susceptible. If these are not taken into consideration a distressing experience for both patients and Electromyographers may result and lead to the EMG failing to realise its full diagnostic potential. In this lecture these important factors are going to be detailed and advice given how to ensure a successful examination.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eSeminar the participants will be able to:
- Important differences between Paediatric and Adult EMG
- How to approach children in a clinical setting
- How the range of paediatric neuromuscular pathologies influences EMG techniques
- Where to source normative data
This eSeminar is valid for 1.0 Hour of CEC approved by AAET– The American Association of Electrodiagnostic Technologists

He wrote Paediatric EMG, the first book dedicated to the subject published by Oxford University Press in 2017. He was the founder of the biannual international congresses on Paediatric EMG begun in 1997 with the 13th meeting taking place at La Baule, France in November 2023. He has lectured all over the world and set up a Paediatric EMG service in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Dr. Pitt is a recognized world expert in the technique of SPACE, an adaptation of stimulated single fiber EMG used in the diagnosis of childhood myasthenic conditions. At the time of his retirement over 800 children were examined per year, either personally or under his personal supervision. He trained nearly all trainee consultants in the UK as well as visiting fellows from all over the world. He has a close relationship with the French speaking EMG societies often presenting at their congresses. He continues to do clinics both in Paediatrics and Adults and receives invitations to speak at International Clinical Neurophysiological societies.

Course introduction:
Please join us for this ON-DEMAND event of a previously broadcast eSeminar presented by James Lewis, R.NCS.T., CNCT. We will review the data of several common entrapments / compressions. What do the numbers tell us? How do we, based on these findings, evaluate severity? We will also review Conduction Blocks and Wallerian degeneration and relate the findings of these. How do these findings differentiate nerve injuries? Are there additional studies we can record to help clarify the findings? We will also review several interesting cases including a distally predominate symmetrical polyneuropathy, brachial plexus lesions and cervical root avulsion.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eSeminar the participants will be able to:
- Understand a printed NCS/EMG report
- Evaluate a report while looking for values outside the expected ranges
- Use the history to turn these abnormal values into an impression
- Gain some general insight to some common nerve injuries/entrapments/compressions
