More about the book

The book emphasizes the importance of monitoring the central nervous system (CNS) in patients at risk of cerebral lesions, particularly in operating rooms and intensive care units. It addresses the reluctance of clinicians to adopt computerized EEG and evoked potential monitoring due to inconsistent benefits reported. With advancements in technology, the book offers practical guidance for integrating these monitoring techniques into everyday clinical practice. It includes case studies that illustrate the interpretation of EEG power spectra and evoked potential changes, aiming to enhance cerebral care for various medical professionals.
