Scalp EEG is an incredible resource and most noninvasive method to monitor the brain health of critically ill patients and detect non-convulsive seizures in ICU patients. Due to the wide range of electromechanical sources and heavy foot traffic in ICU it gets challenging to maintain the quality of the EEG signal.

Since EEG signal is amplified to record, it is easily compromised with artifacts from the ICU equipment, patient care and from the patient himself. The artifacts in EEG are classified into physiological (from the patient) and non-physiological (environmental/electrical/technical). It is easy to recognize some of these artifacts, but many of these imitate seizure or interictal patterns.

This webinar will explore both the physiological and non-physiological artifacts commonly recorded in an ICU EEG.
