Neuromonitoring Techniques

Description:

Neuromonitoring Techniques: Quick Guide for Clinicians and Residents provides a quick and easy guide to understanding various neuromonitoring equipment. Chapters include intracranial pressure monitoring, EEG-based monitors, evoked potentials and transcranial doppler. This book is written for trainees, clinicians and researchers in the fields of neurosurgery, neurocritical care, neuroradiology, neuroanesthesia and neurology. As specialized neuromonitoring is now routinely done in neurosurgical cases, it provides an important resource for neurologists, neurophysiologists, anesthesiologists and residents who are expected to have theoretical and practical knowledge on different systems.

Each monitoring system is discussed separately, with examples, images, reference values and their interpretations.

Features:

• Provides a quick and easy guide to understanding various neuromonitoring techniques
• Presents information on each monitoring system, with examples, images, reference values and their interpretation
• Useful for trainees, clinicians and researchers in the fields of neurosurgery, neurocritical care, neuroradiology, neuroanasthesia and neurology
