Reviews

Pure awesome. This handbook is the only one of its kind. Key points at the beginning of every chapter help highlight the high yield facts. Chapters are organized in bullet points- thorough yet easy to digest and easy to remember the important facts. No doubt, the brightest and most experienced minds in the field of epilepsy and ICU EEG have written this book.

One of the hottest topics in ICU EEG are trends/ quantitative EEG and this is the ONLY resource written by leading ICU epileptologists that I have been able to find. The trends have helped make much more efficient use of the over thousands of hours I have spent reviewing ICU EEGs. The book gives clear concise explanations of the trends, even providing picture references (very helpful to say the least) and well-summarized clinical correlations.

Excellent chapters on how to how to identify ICU artifacts, the meaning of ICU terminology. The terminology is particularly helpful for those of us writing reports daily (and/or those who are developing research databases). I haven’t even had a chance to read the peds ICU EEG chapter but unbelievable that the author event thought to include peds in this well-organized, concise high yield handbook. The book even walks you step by step on how to set up your own EMU…even walks through data storage needed, physical configuration of wall equipment, staff needed, etc. The author didn’t miss a beat.

Perhaps my favorite chapter is the easy to understand explanation of the ictal-interictal continuum. The continuum concept is extremely difficult to grasp during residency when you are quickly trying to figure out how to read stat EEGs and then how to treat patients based on those findings in the middle of the night. This handbook actually assists not only with figuring out how to recognize periodic discharges and other difficult waveforms and understand the implications of the findings …but the clincher is that it even FITS IN MY WHITE COAT!! (Just like the Boards and Wards book in my intern year, this book has earned its own pocket in my white coat.)
