Full Description
Up-to-date and easy to read, Essentials of Clinical Neurophysiology, Fourth Edition, details the basics of normal and abnormal neurologic function and provides authoritative clinical guidance on performing and interpreting today's full range of neurophysiologic studies. Drs. Karl E. Misulis and Thomas C. Head cover recent advances in technology as well as changes in training and practice patterns for EEG, EMG, EP, intraoperative monitoring, sleep studies, and autonomic testing. Offering a practical overview of this complex field, this one-stop resource is an excellent tool for board review and preparation.
Covers a wide variety of the studies used to evaluate epilepsy, coma, dementia, movement disorders, neuromuscular diseases, nerve dysfunction, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and more
Features numerous illustrations that highlight key content and promote visual understanding
Includes a new Key Points section to begin each chapter and offers suggested readings for further study
Discusses new technologies and explains their clinical implications
An ideal resource for neurology residents, fellows in neurophysiology and EEG/EMG, those studying for recertification, and EEG/EMG technicians
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
