Summary

This position independently performs advanced neurodiagnostic procedures, including EEG and Long Term Video EEG monitoring procedures in all settings (ACS, ED, critical care, neonatal ICU). Neurodiagnostic procedures, including patient interaction, safety, and appropriate system settings, are tailored to the individual patient's needs, the reason for the referral, and medical history. Competent technical recording requires independent judgment, technical troubleshooting, and communication with the healthcare team, patient, and family. Technologists must adapt to clinical and environmental situations and tailor the procedure to specific patient needs.
