How I Describe an EEG for the Neurologist 📝🧠

My name is Jared Beckwith, I’m a registered EEG technologist. In this video, I show how I describe an EEG to the reading neurologist. Here is a short guide on what to include in an EEG report:
1. PATIENT STATE?
2. BACKGROUND: CONTINUOUS? SYMMETRIC? VOLTAGE? PDR?
3. SLEEP STAGES?
4. PHOTIC DRIVING?
5. HV EFFORT & BUILDUP?
6. BACKGROUND ATTENUATES WITH EYE OPENING?
7. FOCAL SLOWING: LOCATION?
8. EPILEPTIFORM ACTIVITY: PREVALENCE, AMPLITUDE, LOCATION, SHARPNESS, EEG CHANGE WITH CLINICAL DESCRIPTION.

Jared, thank you so much for this. I have subscribed and will be continuing to learn from you. I have been an RPSGT for 15 years but now work in EEG. It is so similar yet drastically different. I look forward to watching more from you. Such a huge help. Thanks!

[@jaredbeckwith]

Hey thanks for subscribing! I have a few friends who used to do sleep studies. I think you’ll be able to transition and be great in EEG too. Best wishes!

I am starting school for this in August. Looks like so much to learn! Thank you for these vids.

First learn 10-20 system electrode names: ua-cam.com/video/7dCiBzlCjKc/v-deo.html
Then learn how to measure a patient: ua-cam.com/video/t3BcWa43H2w/v-deo.html
Here’s some extra tips after you learn the basics of measuring: ua-cam.com/video/OIhN-i1ZGCI/v-deo.html
If you follow these three videos I think you’ll be well prepared for your course. I hope this helps!

@@ChristinaNompumelelo-sk3zs Thanks Christina, I just emailed you a download link for my software & 15 EEG examples.

Thank you Jared for sharing your all knowledge!! I really appreciate it! I just have one question about pay . How much is a pay after 4/5 years of experience and what is max pay we can get in a hospital a full time employee? What area you work so I can compare salary range with other cities .

[@jaredbeckwith]

In Florida about $50k to start, now I’m at $60k after 4 years. It is possible to make $100k doing travel contracts since they pay the most, but you need experience.

Hey Jared, this is random but I start eeg school with laboure in January just was wondering what can I expect and I was wondering if classes are difficult in general, like would it be just as hard as nursing school or something like that,like can I work and go to class at the same time or is something I have to give full attention to thanks man

[@jaredbeckwith]

Hey thanks for reaching out! EEG school is easy enough if you dedicate all your time to it. Maybe can work part-time if really necessary. I wasn’t able to work during college, and lived with my parents. It’s probably easier than nursing school & only one year. If you have any questions during school I’m happy to help!
