Abstract
In our work, we considered foreign studies, which supported the importance of the aEEG in the early prediction of the neurological development in newborns with early onset asphyxial syndrome. The target of the work was to support a correlation between the type of the aEEG curve and degree of involvement in newborns over the first hours after the hypoxic insult and to introduce this approach into routine practice.
Cerebral function monitoring is a non-invasive method suitable for early assessment of the severity of the experienced perinatal hypoxia. Given the possibility of the evaluation as soon as over the first hours of the life, this should be a suitable approach to the screening of patients for therapeutic hypothermia.
