What do EEG Technicians do?
An EEG technician performs Electroencephalogram (EEG) tests by attaching sensors (electrodes) to a patient’s scalp to record the patient’s brain’s electrical activity.
They prepare the patient and equipment, monitor the test, and perform procedures like hyperventilation or light stimulation to expose abnormalities.
The recorded brain wave data helps neurologists and other medical professionals diagnose and monitor neurological conditions like epilepsy, strokes, and sleep disorders.
Responsibilities
Prepare the patient and equipment: This involves measuring the scalp, marking the spots for electrodes, and sometimes scrubbing the skin to ensure a good connection.
Place electrodes: Small, flat metal discs called electrodes are attached to the scalp using an adhesive, or the patient may wear an elastic cap fitted with electrodes.
Conduct the EEG test: The electrodes are connected to an EEG machine, which amplifies and records the brain’s electrical signals.
Monitor the patient and equipment: The technician observes the patient and the machine’s signals, making adjustments as needed.
Perform evoked potential tests: The technician may administer light stimulation or breathing tests to provoke brain activity and more accurately observe abnormalities.
Troubleshoot issues: They must be able to resolve any problems with the equipment to ensure a clear recording.
Maintain patient comfort: The technician must ensure the patient is as comfortable as possible during the test, which can be an intrusive experience.
Clean the room and equipment: After the test, the technician removes the electrodes and cleans the equipment and room for the next patient.
What an EEG Test Shows
Brain wave activity: The electrodes detect the tiny electrical signals produced by the brain.
Neurological conditions: By interpreting these signals, neurologists and other healthcare professionals can identify abnormalities related to conditions such as seizure disorders, strokes, headaches, and sleep disturbances.
Environment
EEG technicians work in various healthcare settings, including Hospitals, Outpatient clinics, Sleep centers, and Neurology departments.
