The Atlas of EEG in Critical Care is divided into three main sections:

1. Section 1: Principles of EEG Interpretation
2. Section 2: Case Studies
3. Section 3: Appendices

Section 1 provides a detailed overview of the principles of EEG interpretation. This section covers topics such as:

• The basics of EEG
• EEG recording techniques
• EEG artifact
• Normal EEG patterns
• Abnormal EEG patterns

Section 2 contains a comprehensive collection of case studies with expert analysis. The case studies are organized by topic, such as:

• Coma
• Seizures
• Encephalopathy
• Anoxia
• Trauma

Each case study includes a detailed description of the patient's history, clinical presentation, and EEG findings. The expert analysis provides a step-by-step explanation of how to interpret the EEG and make a diagnosis.
