👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The hardest part is when the patient is lying down and getting O1-O2. As far as sitting upright, I still struggle with my circumference sometimes. Thanks for the video !!!
Hi Jared, placing EEG in a real head is challenging for those with thick hair. For O1-O2 for circumference I get a tip from my TA to start from Oz and 5% Rt -> O2, 5% Lt -> O1 then at the occipital we will have the dominant 3 dots above inion. I also agree with you that visual approximation will help than worry with 0.5-1 cm difference.
Electrodes in back of the head are definitely challenging with thick hair! Making 5% marks to the left and right of Oz can definitely help people getting lost marking O1/O2.
@@maybrown1 I use a color code system using green wire for ground and brown for ref. It’s easier to keep track of the wires if you use the same colors each time.
@@sudhairahmed9666 If it is a new surgery you place the electrode nearby and annotate it on your study. Sometimes you won’t be able to place an electrode there at all, and have to make note. If the patient is missing a hemisphere of the skull, you measure the same way, just be careful where there is no skull. Impedances may be higher than 10k ohms since you can’t scrub hard where there’s no skull.
@@jaredbeckwithsuppose if there is a scar on P3 or C3 etc then we have to place the electrode away from the scar by one or two cm anterior or posterior or left/right on the same time we have to adjust the other hemisphere by placing the electrode as the same as we did on the affected site.
@@sudhairahmed9666 I’d measure it regularly as if there was no scar. The only electrode moved from normal setup is P3, and make note of how you moved it.
@@GuillaumeGagnon-w6q It takes some practice parting the hair to see the marks made on the patient’s scalp. I definitely had trouble finding my marks in the beginning on patients with long hair

I put some of my other videos on the 10-20 system in the description if anyone needs more help ❤
Yes! I love the up front tip! It’s all confidence and repetition:)
repetitions build the confidence you need to feel more comfortable with real patients 😊
I love your advice. I am a new EEG Technologist in training.
Thanks Courtney, I love your cute dog! 😍 feel free to email me if you need any help jared@aioneeg.com

Yes the ones in the back of the head are definitely hardest to get!

Beginner here, How do I know which one my ground lead and reference lead are?

For surgical scars and asymmetrical head size what are the techniques of measuring head

Thank you ! 🙏🏽
No prob!
Is being off a couple of centimeters from rounding okay for the measurement exam ?
I think you’re able to be off up to 0.5 centimeters on each mark. Nobody is able to make every mark perfect, so just try your best 😊
Can you really see the mark clearly on patient with hair? I dont get how wax crayon are showing mark on head full of hair...

Where did you get the mannequin head with hair?
I think I got mine on Amazon, they’re used a lot to train hairdressers.
Thank you 😊

How about playing a movie for your patient to watch?
They can watch a movie / tv during the hookup.
