Atlas of Intensive Care Quantitative EEG

By: Marcus C. Ng, MD,Jin Jing, PhD,M. Brandon Westover, MD, PhD

Atlas of Intensive Care Quantitative EEG is the first resource fully dedicated to quantitative EEG (QEEG) analysis, tailored to any physician or EEG technologist who works with critically ill patients. With the rise of continuous EEG monitoring in intensive care, clinicians are increasingly called on to make real-time clinical judgments with little formal guidance on how to interpret QEEG. This book is configured to meet daily practice challenges. It addresses not only technical fundamentals but also provides numerous examples of signature QEEG patterns and artifacts to instruct both untrained and experienced eyes. Comprehensive in scope, this unique atlas walks the reader from essential principles all the way through to practical pattern recognition. With full-page reference samples pairing raw EEG with quantitative EEG spectrograms, brief clinical vignettes, and explanatory captions noting significant features, this book provides a roadmap for understanding and applying QEEG data in critically ill patients. Unrivaled in the breadth of its coverage and level of detail, its thorough discussions of both normal and abnormal findings and QEEG artifacts set the standard for effective use of quantitative electroencephalography and trend analysis in the ICU. Complete with a broad range of patterns and page after page of full-color samples, this book is designed to be the authoritative QEEG reference for neurologists, intensivists, technologists, and trainees working in critical care settings. Key Features: Includes full spectrum of abnormal ICU QEEG findings with multiple examples of each pattern to assist readers in recognizing the range of findings encountered in clinical practice Contains more than 400 full-page vivid color QEEG examples paired with raw EEG to build interpretive skills and enhance clinical decision-making Concise presentation of fundamental principles of QEEG Detailed analysis of QEEG artifacts that can be mistaken for abnormal findings

When Life Is in Jeopardy

How Doctors Detect and Treat the Most Common Life-Threatening Conditions

By: Stephen Garrett Marcus, M.d.

When Life Is in Jeopardy: How Doctors Detect and Treat the Most Common Life-Threatening Conditions, by physician and medical researcher Stephen Garrett Marcus, is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read book about the life-threatening conditions and complications that are the most common causes of serious illness, injury and death in the United States, Canada, and Europe. When Life Is in Jeopardy tells the entire story of diseases, injuries and their complications, including initial symptoms, making the diagnosis, initial treatments, treatment to prevent or treat relapses, benefits and risks of treatments, the outlook for survival and recovery, experimental treatment, and, if necessary, treatment to relieve suffering if a cure or remission becomes unlikely or impossible. The book is divided into four sections: * "Life-Threatening Diseases" explores the most common life-threatening diseases including the most common cancers, stroke, heart diseases, cirrhosis, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). * "Life-Threatening Injuries" explains how emergency physicians and surgeons evaluate and treat chest, abdominal and head trauma. * "Life-Threatening Complications" discusses the large number of dangerous complications that can occur as a direct result of a serious disease or injury or as a side effect of medical or surgical treatments. * "Clinical Trials" gives information about how new treatments are tested by responsible medical researchers and how a person can identify and enroll in a clinical trial of an experimental treatment. The focus of this book is on the medical and surgical treatments of illnesses and injuries and their complications. Although it would be preferable, to prevent a disease or injury rather than treat it, preventive measures are usually beside the point once the disease or injury has struck. Prevention discussed in this book emphasizes prevention of disease progression or recurrence, and prevention of complications of a disease or its treatment. Common questions a person will have when facing a life-threatening illness are "how can I regain or keep my health", "how can I survive and recover from setbacks and complications", and, for some diseases, "how long have I got to live". This book seeks to point out that a disease or complication does not come with fixed odds for partial or full recovery or with a defined period for that disease to reach a cure, stay in remission, or prove fatal. Each person is an individual and, for some reasons unknown, and for many reasons related to getting the very best medical care available, some people can be cured of their disease or survive and enjoy life's normal activities for an extended period, while other people succumb to their disease quickly. Every person is an individual and not a statistic. The fight for life is always an option. This empowering work, When Life Is in Jeopardy, offers information, insight, candor, and-ultimately-hope. This book provides the reader with one of the most critical tools the fight for life requires: information.
