Standard EEG and EEG sleep monitoring: minimum requirements for recording techniques and techniques. Recommendations of the Russian Association of Functional Diagnostics Specialists (RAFDS)

The article presents the minimum equirements for the technique and methodology of performing standard EEG studies of wakefulness and EEG monitoring of sleep. It is based on the minimum standards for recording routine EEG and EEG sleep studies proposed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology and the International League against Epilepsy. The recommendations provide the main indications for conducting research, and provide the minimum necessary requirements for technical specifications. The protocols of activating probe performed in basic studies are described. The method of sleep deprivation in different age groups is recommended. The recommendations are addressed to physicians in functional diagnostics who perform EEG examinations, as well as to medical specialists who refer patients to these studies.
