The routine use of EEG for monitoring intensive care patients has proven to be a crucial aid for the current assessment of the cerebral situation during intensive therapy. This book provides intensivists with a visual representation and interpretation of EEG changes in critically ill patients with a wide range of diseases and complications. Acute and chronic changes in the EEG, as well as their prognostic significance, are described in detail. Additionally, the authors discuss various EEG processing methods. Acute and prolonged disturbances of brain function can be made visible through regular EEG recordings, targeted treatments can be applied, and potentially even eliminated. Researchers and practitioners will find essential support in this book for their differential diagnostic processes.
