Sleep Medicine is a field that attracts physicians from a
variety of clinical backgrounds. As a result, the majority of sleep
specialists who interpret sleep studies (PSG) do not have
specialized training in neurophysiology and electroencephalography
(EEG) interpretation. Given this and the fact that PSGs usually are
run at a third of the speed of EEGs and that they usually have a
limited array of electrodes, waveforms frequently appear different
on the PSGs compared to the EEGs. This can lead to challenges
interpreting certain unusual looking activity that may or may not
be pathological.
This Atlas of Electroencephalograpy in Sleep Medicine is
extensively illustrated and provides an array of examples of normal
waveforms commonly seen on PSG, in addition to normal variants,
epileptiform and non-epileptiform abnormalities and common
artifacts. This resource is divided into five main sections with a
range of topics and chapters per section. The sections cover Normal
Sleep Stages; Normal Variants; Epileptiform Abnormalities;
Non-epileptiform Abnormalities; and Artifacts. Each example
includes a brief description of each EEG together with its clinical
significance, if any. Setting the book apart from others in the
field is the following feature: Each EEG discussed consists of
three views of the same page -- one at a full EEG montage with
30mm/sec paper speed, the same montage at 10mm/sec (PSG speed) and
a third showing the same thing at 10 mm/sec, but with the
abbreviated PSG montage.
Unique and the first resource of its kind in sleep medicine, the
Atlas of Electroencephalograpy in Sleep Medicine will greatly
assist those physicians and sleep specialists who read PSGs to
identify common and unusual waveforms on EEG as they may appear
during a sleep study and serve as a reference for them in that
capacity.
