Abstract

Th value of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) in the newborn is explored by researchers at Washington University, St Louis; Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital, Utrecht, Netherlands; and Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden.

Highlights

  • Pediatric Neurology Briefs 2008 coinciding with vulnerable watershed areas of cortex, yields a high sensitivity (81%) for electrical seizure activity

  • These results confirm previous findings that background EEG abnormalities detected in newborns soon after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy are predictive of outcome, even in patients treated with hypothermia

  • Th value of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography in the newborn is explored by researchers at Washington University, St Louis; Wilhelmina Children's Hospital, Utrecht, Netherlands; and Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden

Summary

Introduction

Pediatric Neurology Briefs 2008 coinciding with vulnerable watershed areas of cortex, yields a high sensitivity (81%) for electrical seizure activity. PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF EEG IN ASPHYXIATED NEWBORNS TREATED WITH HYPOTHERMIA Researchers at Children's Hospitals in Milan, Italy, determined the prognostic value of electroencephalographic patterns in 23 newborns with severe perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, treated with hypothermia.
