This book serves as a practical textbook on continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring, addressing key clinical aspects such as classification of status epilepticus, criteria for initiating monitoring, recognition of seizure patterns, quantitative EEG analysis, and neuroimaging in patients undergoing cEEG. It reviews the significance of cEEG findings in various contexts, including specific pathologies, critical care considerations, and prognostication. Treatments for nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) and nonconvulsive seizures (NCS) are also covered. The final section discusses important administrative topics, including billing, staffing, EEG machine comparisons, and IT issues. Continuous EEG monitoring is crucial for detecting clinically subtle seizures in critically ill patients, with around 20% experiencing NCSE or NCS during monitoring. As a result, many hospitals are adopting cEEG monitoring to ensure appropriate treatment. By presenting the latest advancements in cEEG, this book is a valuable resource for neurophysiologists, neurologists, neurointensivists, intensivists, and fellows and residents in neurophysiology and epilepsy.
