Abstract
Neonatal electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring guidelines have been published by American Clinical Neurophysiology Society, and the expert consensus on neonatal amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) has also been published in China. It is difficult to strictly follow the guidelines or consensus for EEG monitoring in different levels of neonatal units due to a lack of EEG monitoring equipment and professional interpreters. The Subspecialty Group of Neonatology, Society of Pediatrics, Chinese Medical Association, established an expert group composed of professionals in neonatology, pediatric neurology, and brain electrophysiology to review published guidelines and consensuses and the articles in related fields and propose grading management recommendations for EEG monitoring in different levels of neonatal units. Based on the characteristics of video EEG and aEEG, local medical resources, and disease features, the expert group recommends that video EEG and aEEG can complement each other and can be used in different levels of neonatal units. The consensus also gives recommendations for promoting collaboration between professionals in neonatology, pediatric neurology, and brain electrophysiology and implementing remote EEG monitoring.
