The attendee will become familiar with the role of ultrasonography in distinguishing normal nerves from inflamed nerves and to further differentiate between the various inflammatory neuropathies. The utility of EMG and EEG will be explored with regards to the diagnosis of various movement disorders including tremors, myoclonus, and tics. Finally attendees will also learn about the role of EEG monitoring and its various applications in the ICU.
