This review is from: An Atlas of Amplitude-Integrated EEGs in the Newborn, Second Edition, with DVD (Encyclopedia of Visual Medicine Series) (Hardcover)

This is the "go-to" book to learn about interpretation of amplitude-integrated EEGs. The authors have been pioneers in this field and have accumulated numerous examples of tracings that are linked to specific, detailed clinical scenarios. One can see the evolution of tracings over time in particular patients, as well as the corresponding MRIs and other neuro-images relevant to the cases. The utility of the book is further enhanced by a DVD which is included. This displays a number of real-time traces for review. After reading this book, one will come away with a better understanding of the use of aEEG in the diagnosis and management of hypoxic-ischemic injury, neonatal seizures, prematurity, as well as the ability to discern and identify artifacts and medications which may confound interpretation of the tracings.
