The importance of brain activity monitoring with integrated EEG amplitude in neonates with early asphyxia syndrome
2008
Abstract
The aim of this study was to confirm the correlation between the type of amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) in neonates with perinatal asphyxia and the level of sabsequent hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The aEEG was continually recorded with monitor CFM 6000 and clasified according to Hellström-Westas.
Grade of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy was evaluated according to Sarnat-Sarnat classification. We confirmed the usefullness of aEEG assesment in prediction of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
