EEG monitoring is an essential component of neurocritical care, and the patterns seen in critically ill children and neonates are often distinctly different from those found in critically ill adults or encountered in an epilepsy monitoring unit or outpatient neurophysiology laboratory. This resource provides expert guidance in the interpretation of neonatal and pediatric critical care EEG with hundreds of examples and detailed descriptions to enhance understanding and facilitate better outcomes for EEG monitoring in children. The chapters begin by addressing the basics of each topic before focusing on specific EEG patterns and their relevance to a particular disease state. Dedicated chapters on rhythmic and periodic patterns, status epilepticus, quantitative EEG analysis, and multimodality monitoring provide a thorough grounding in ICU EEG skills and applications. The book concludes with a series of thirteen cases illustrating common scenarios to help clinicians apply lessons learned. 140 board-style questions targeting information covered on the epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology boards is included online along with 12 videos that further amplify chapter content. Incorporating the most recent American Clinical Neurophysiology Society guidelines for critical care EEG monitoring in neonates and children, this evidence-based atlas will be a trusted reference for critical care clinicians, neurologists, epileptologists, and other providers who care for critically ill neonates and children.

| atlas of critical care procedures: Atlas of Surgical Operations Robert Milton Zollinger, E. Christopher Ellison, 2011 For more than half-a-century, Zollinger's Atlas of Surgical Operations has been the gold-standard reference for learning how to perform the most common surgical procedures using safe, well-established techniques. The ninth edition continues this tradition of excellence with the addition of color illustrations and coverage of more than 230 procedures, including many of the most important laparoscopic operations. Following the proven effective design of previous editions, each procedure is fully explained on two pages. The right page contains beautifully rendered line drawings with color highlights that depict every important action a surgeon must consider while performing the operation. The facing page includes consistently formatted coverage of indications, preoperative preparation, anesthesia, position, operative preparation, incision and exposure, procedure, closure, and postoperative care.--Publisher's website. |
| atlas of critical care procedures: Vascular Anesthesia Procedures Richard Urman, Alan Kaye, 2021 This important manuscript reviews basic vascular anatomy and physiology. The vascular system is part of the cardiovascular system, which maintains blood supply to all organs and tissues to upkeep the human metabolic activities. Vascular system has three components: artery, vein, and capillaries where oxygen, nutrients and metabolites exchange. Vascular wall biology has been a very hot topic for the last decades since it is involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes, yet many aspects remain unknown. There are three layers in the vascular wall: Tunica intima, Tunica media and Tunica adventitia. Adventitia has mainly collagenous and elastic fibers, and its physiological function was mostly unknown till recently it is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The vascular tone can be altered by neurohumoral and other factors. The brain and the heart and other vital organs have the capability to regulate their blood flow via a phenomenon called autoregulation, which maintains relatively constant blood flow to vital organs over a wide range of perfusion pressure-- ǂc Provided by publisher |
