• Key Concepts: 
  An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to measure electrical activity in the brain. It is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as epilepsy, head injuries, sleep disorders, and other neurological disorders. In the IS-H SAP for Healthcare system, EEGs are used to help diagnose and monitor patients with neurological conditions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In the IS-H SAP for Healthcare system, EEGs are used to help diagnose and monitor patients with neurological conditions. The EEG is performed by placing electrodes on the patient's scalp and measuring the electrical activity of the brain. The results of the EEG are then analyzed by a healthcare professional to determine if there are any abnormalities in the brain's electrical activity. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When performing an EEG, it is important to ensure that the electrodes are placed correctly on the patient's scalp. It is also important to ensure that the patient is relaxed during the procedure, as this can affect the accuracy of the results. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The IS-H SAP for Healthcare system also includes other tests that can be used to diagnose and monitor neurological conditions, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans. These tests can provide more detailed information about the structure and function of the brain than an EEG can.
