Brain Monitoring: EEG Electrode Technology

Beschrijving

EEG Electrode Technology gives a basic knowledge of EEG and EEG electrode technology. It gives an overview of EEG, common EEG montages, how to measure and mark a patient's head for electrodes, types and applications of electrodes, and a process for checking for reliable EEG signals. This course will help caregivers better understand the process for monitoring patients’ EEG, and the importance of the team approach in neuromonitoring. “We have been using this program for many years in the training of our EEG techs, as well as our personal care assistants who help us monitor the patients. It is very easy to follow and is a great aid in learning the 10-20 system.” – Barbara Smith, R. EEG T. St. Louis, MO After completion of this course, you will be able to: - Discuss the team approach to neuromonitoring - Describe the International 10-20 System - Identify 21 standard electrode positions - Identify types of electrodes - Recognize bipolar and referential montages - Recognize procedures for applying electrodes and troubleshooting signals About the Authors: Over the past three decades, Dick Moberg, MSE has developed three generations of EEG monitors, the first realistic EEG simulator called The Grateful Head®, and innovative teaching aids for several organizations including the National Institute of Nursing Research. Sabrina G. Galloway, BS, R.EEG/EP T., CNIM, CLTM is Director of Neurodiagnostic Operations for Neuromonitoring Technologies, Inc. a company providing continuous cEEG services in the ICU and EMU. Ms. Galloway has held leadership positions in the American Society of Electroneurodiagnostic Technologists (ASET) and American Society of Neurophysiological Monitoring (ASNM). She has authored numerous peer reviewed journal articles and contributed book chapters in the field of neurodiagnostics and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
