Neuromonitoring in Neonatal and Pediatric Critical Care

 Demand  for neuromonitoring in neonatal, pediatric and cardiac intensive care  units continues to grow, motivated by increased awareness of the high  prevalence of seizures among critically ill neonates and children, and  emerging evidence that these seizures can contribute to brain injury.  This book provides physicians, nurses and trainees caring for critically  ill newborns and children with a practical overview of how to use and  interpret continuous neuromonitoring to enhance patient care. Authored  by international experts from diverse institutions and professional  backgrounds, this is a practical guide that is accessible to intensive  care specialists, but also comprehensive enough to serve as a reference  book for neurologists and neurophysiologists. Concise enough to be read  cover-to-cover and illustrated with over thirty case-based examples,  this authoritative reference will guide readers in accurate  neuromonitoring interpretation and optimal use of conventional EEG,  amplitude-integrated EEG and other quantitative EEG techniques.
