Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bruce Fisch's recently published text, Epilepsy and Intensive Care Monitoring, is a must-have for anyone is wants an "all-in-one" cutting edge review of the rapid advances in prolonged inpatient video-EEG monitoring of patients with epilepsy and sick patients in the ICU. Reviews provide specific information on technical aspects of hands-on monitoring written by people who really do monitoring and then explain it to me so I can understand it. Deftly demonstrates how to integrate epilepsy video-EEG findings with next steps in epilepsy pre-surgery evaluations. Reviews as much as is currently known about the rapidly expanding field of ICU monitoring. Well-organized, readable, lots of tables and figures, and even the right diagnosis and procedure codes for this and that. Our clinical neurophysiology fellows and neurology residents love it, and have to borrow our lab copy back from our techs who keep it near at hand. Great Christmas or graduation gift for all of them.

Unlike many other diagnostic procedures, EEG, now over 80 years old, and epilepsy monitoring, now over 40 years old, have demonstrated their usefulness and stood the test of time. Although the benefits of these diagnostic procedures are clear, monitoring is currently not available to the majority of patients in need. One of the factors limiting broader implementation is the lack of practitioners with special expertise.
Epilepsy and Intensive Care Monitoring was developed to address this concern. This practical volume contains detailed chapters covering all areas of clinical epilepsy monitoring. Featuring expert authors from major epilepsy centers, this seminal work reviews all current procedures and applications for monitoring adults and children with epilepsy in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and the ICU.
Opening sections are devoted to indications, procedures, administrative considerations, and technical aspects of the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and ICU monitoring, followed by dedicated sections on EEG diagnosis and localization and monitoring of neurological disorders in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and ICU. The book concludes with special procedures and an Appendix with guidelines for organizing epilepsy monitoring centers and technical aspects of EEG monitoring.
