S10-3. Involvement of EEG technologists in intracranial electroencephalography

Intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) is highly invasive but is useful in epilepsy surgery to delineate the margins of an epileptogenic zone and to identify eloquent areas. The involvement of EEG technologists in iEEG varies depending on the institution in Japan. In our hospital, EEG technologists are involved in preparing, recording, and reviewing EEGs, and supporting patients and their family during iEEG.EEG technologists prepare the electroencephalograph setting and connect the intracranial electrodes to the electroencephalograph with the neurosurgeon on the day after implantation.
