Cecil D. Hahn is a Clinician-Investigator at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, and an Associate Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Dr Hahn has served as Chair of the Critical Care EEG Monitoring Research Consortium, and as President of the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the Canadian Association of Child Neurology. Courtney J. Wusthoff is Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and, by courtesy of Pediatrics (Neonatology), at Stanford University and Director of Neurocritical Care at Neuro NICU, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, California, USA.
'Drs. Hahn and Wusthoff have masterfully organized and edited this
stunning monograph on neuromonitoring in neonatal and pediatric
critical care. There is excellent coverage of general and practical
considerations with sections devoted individually to neonatal,
pediatric, and cardiac intensive care monitoring, and 30+
illustrative cases that are concise, instructive, and integrated
into the earlier chapters as exemplars. Strong coverage of
quantitative EEG, with side-by-side comparisons to conventional
EEG, is especially helpful. This book is a welcome addition of
immense value to both trainees and experienced practitioners of
clinical neurophysiology and pediatric epilepsy.' Phillip L. Pearl,
M.D., Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, USA
'This is an outstanding, comprehensive, accessible, and
well-illustrated book that will be of use to nurses and physicians
at different levels of training and from any background, including
neurology, critical care, and neonatology, interested in ICU EEG
neuromonitoring and the uses and potential of quantitative
EEG. Each chapter combines detailed and critical assessments
of the literature with liberal use of informative figures that have
examples of EEG and quantitative EEG patterns or effective
summaries of treatment or diagnostic pathways … this book will be
an essential clinical reference and teaching resource for
practitioners from multiple specialties who care for neonates and
children in intensive care units.' Mark S. Wainwright, M.D Ph.D.,
Pediatric Neurocritical Care Program, University of Washington,
Seattle, USA
'This book, edited by Cecil Hahn and Courtney Wusthoff and written
by many experts in the field, was urgently needed. The last book on
investigating the neonatal brain was published more than a decade
ago and many advances have been made since. We find extensive
information on aEEG, EEG, EEG trends, and a bit on NIRS and evoked
potentials in the chapter on neuromonitoring after cardiac arrest.
This book does not only address the neonatal brain, but also takes
you to the paediatric intensive care unit and the cardiac intensive
care unit. The final part provides more than 30 cases, which are
referred to at the beginning of each chapter and which I found very
interesting and useful.' Linda de Vries, University of Utrecht,
Netherlands
'The chapters of this excellent textbook run the gamut of practical
and logistical aspects of setting up monitoring, to interpreting
results and using EEG monitoring for prediction of cardiac arrest
and ischemia. The chapters are to the point and the writing crisp.
Part 4 was instructive to me, and I've spent my professional life
in the CICU. This should be required reading for ICU fellows (PICU,
NICU, and CICU), as well as neurology residents.' Daniel J. Licht,
Professor of Neurology, Department of Pediatrics Distinguished
Endowed Chair, Director of the J. and S. Wolfson Family Laboratory
for Clinical and Biomedical Optics; Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia, USA
'This book is a must-read for neonatal and pediatric intensive care
physicians, advanced practice providers, students, residents, and
nurses working in pediatric intensive care.' Maradith Skalak,
