Excerpt

Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) has become a standard monitoring tool for neonates. Especially in term asphyxiated newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, aEEG background voltage changes over time predict long-term outcome [1]. In addition, aEEG is used to detect seizures and to monitor anticonvulsive treatment [2]. Lately, aEEG has become a useful tool monitoring brain maturation in preterm infants [3, 4]. …
