PrefazioneServono ancora i trattati nell’era di internet? La risposta è naturalmente “sì”, e non può essere altrimenti, visto che mi sono cimentato in questa attività.Servono perché sono dei mobili con molti cassetti, in cui chi consulta internet (cioè tutti noi) può mettere le nozioni di nuova generazione. Senza i cassetti, e lo schema razionale che li sottende, le nuove informazioni viaggiano prive di ancoraggio, generano sicuramente idee ma non consentono di edificare una costruzione solida. Costruzione che deve essere continuamente rinnovata (e internet a questo serve), ma deve appoggiarsi su una realtà di base, come a dire la struttura di un edificio che consente di seguire dalle finestre lo scorrere del tempo e delle nozioni , orientando le scelte. Non tutto il nuovo va conservato, e una selezione è inevitabile. I trattati servono a fornire le linee guida per la selezione e il peso delle novità.Per la bibliografia a fine di ogni capitolo, che ho denominato “Indicazioni di lettura”, ho indicato i lavori di cui mi sono servito, senza richiamarli nel testo per non appesantire la lettura ma affidandomi alla chiara indicazione del titolo della pubblicazione; inoltre ho fornito consigli di approfondimento che riuniscono testi storici, articoli basilari e acquisizioni recenti. Ho rinunciato a citare le indicazioni tratte da internet, elenco difficile, fluttuante e dispersivo.Devo non pochi ringraziamenti ai miei allievi e collaboratori, quelli che hanno proseguito il lavoro universitario e quelli che hanno scelto altri percorsi.Forse ho insegnato alcune cose, non tanto in termini di dottrina quanto di atteggiamento di fronte al paziente e di fronte alla ribollente cultura neurologica: correttezza, curiosità, critica, comunicazione. Sono stato ampiamente ricompensato da quanto hanno continuato a insegnarmi; e, in questi ultimi anni, dalla libertà che mi è stata accordata di utilizzare una sede di lavoro in Clinica Neurologica e dell’amicizia da cui mi sono sentito circondato. Non mi è concesso fare nomi, neppure in ordine alfabetico. Tutti li riunisco in un ideale abbraccio. Mario Manfredi

The book highlights key diagnostic patterns, enabling clinicians to make rapid, accurate diagnoses of all major critical conditions, including seizures, stroke, and coma. The authors offer up-to-date coverage of continuous and quantitative EEG methods, including explanations of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society’s 2021 Terminology for Critical Care EEG.The new edition provides readers with a wide range of presentations seen in typical intensive care units and utilizes extensive color arrows and boxes to highlight the patterns in EEG traces. It explores methods of data management and trending that are central to long-term monitoring and covers invasive recordings, including multi-modal monitoring. Readers will also find: Thorough introductions to the basics of EEG and EEG in encephalopathy In-depth explorations of seizures and status epilepticus, as well as rhythmic and periodic patterns, the ictal-interictal continuum, the extreme delta brush pattern, and other controversial and recently defined EEG patterns Comprehensive discussions of EEG in encephalopathy, coma, and cerebrovascular disease, as well as artifacts that can mimic seizures and other physiologic patterns Numerous examples of prolonged EEG monitoring and an in-depth section on quantitative EEG techniques for detection of seizures and ischemia Perfect for neurologists, EEG’ers and neurointensivists, the latest edition of Atlas of EEG in Critical Care will also earn a place in the libraries of neurology trainees seeking a practical and accessible collection of EEG traces from intensive care patients.
