Back by popular demand Rebecca will discuss issues with patient care during those long term monitoring cases in which electrodes are left on for many days. Rebecca has the benefit of traveling to many labs and seeing first hand the issues and also many technical tips for handling these issues.

 

"Nerve Conduction Instrumentation" by Brian Markley, R. EEG/EP T., R.NCS.T.

While there are many lectures about EEG Instrumentation, NCS instrumentation is a topic that is seldom addressed. Brian will give a much needed overview of NCS instrumentation and electrical safety.

 

"Principles and Application of LTM" by Judy Ahn-Ewing, R. EEG/EP T., CNIM, CLTM

Judy has been a department director during the implementation of a large scale LTM unit and has many years of experience in END, serving as President of ABRET, is currently President-elect of ASET, and has served on the Epilepsy Foundation board. She will bring her management experience and her passion of patients to this overview of principles and application of LTM.

 

"Pediatric Syndromes" by Susan Arnold, MD

Dr Arnold will cover the various pediatric syndromes with samples and case studies. Dr Arnold has presented for ASET Webinars before and her presentations are always excellent. For those technologists preparing for board exams who do not routinely see pediatric patients as well as those working in pediatric centers this will be a very informative lecture.

"Ambulatory EEG, Beyond the LTM" by Jennifer Carlile, R. EEG T.

Jennifer will give a presentation on the use of Ambulatory EEG as an extension of the LTM following the patient home to monitor them in their home or work environment. Case studies will be presented.

 

"Phases of Craniotomy Surgery" by Ibrahim Abouzeid, DABNM, CNIM

Ibrahim Abouzeid was a neurosurgeon before immigrating to the US, and he will give an overview of the phases of brain surgery, the different phases, how to recognize what is happening without having to ask, and how these phases are important to the IONM professional.

 

"BAEP in IONM" by Alan Legatt, MD, PhD

Dr Legatt presented this lecture at the 2009 Annual Conference and for those who missed it, this is your chance to hear this informative lecture. Dr Legatt will discuss the generators of the BAEP, common artifacts, changes with temperature, localization of neuronal dysfunction, and uses of BAEP monitoring in various surgeries including microvascular decompression. Dr Legatt is one of ASET’s most outstanding presenters. You won’t want to miss this lecture.

 

"Neurotelemetry Electrode Application Techniques Compared" by Ryan Lau, BA, R. EEG/EP T., CNIM, CLTM
