T2  - Atlas of Video-EEG Monitoring
AB  - Although  continuous  video–electroencephalographic  monitoring  (VEM)  was  first  developed  in  the  1960s,  it  did  not  become  relatively  available  in  routine  neurologic  care  until  the  past  decade.  This  progress  may  be  due  to  both  increasing  expectations  for  diagnostic  accuracy  and  advancing  monitoring  technology.  With  current  technology,  VEM  is  less  expensive,  is  easier  to  perform,  and  has  changed  from  a  primarily  academic  university  hospital–based  test  to  one  that  many  community  hospitals  and  unaffiliated  neurologists  can  provide.  VEM  is  the  fastest-growing  aspect  of  EEG  and  often  is  an  expected  standard  of  care.  However,  the  increase  in  use  has  not  been  accompanied  by  reference  sources  for  this  diagnostic  technology.  Current  references  focus  on  brief  EEG  patterns  without  inclusion  of  extended  recordings,  the  behaviors  that  accompany  EEG  patterns,  or  aspects  of  providing  this  more  comprehensive  diagnostic  service.  The  purpose  of  the  Atlas  of  Video-EEG  Monitoring  is  to  serve  as  a  reference  and  essential  reading  for  the  large  population  of  clinicians  and  technologists  who  provide  VEM.  The  skilled  use  of  VEM  requires  more  than  a  thorough  understanding  of  EEG,  and  this  reference  aims  to  be  authoritative  for  the  essentials  of  VEM  in  diverse  clinical  practices  and  hospital  laboratories.
