Phenobarbital therapy in neonatal seizures and the prognostic value of the EEG.
High plasma levels of phenobarbital are known to produce profound effects on the EEG background activity. Phenobarbital therapy frequently is administered to the neonate with seizures prior to the first EEG recording. Therefore, it is questionable whether in these neonates alterations of the EEG background activity are related to anticonvulsive therapy. A total of 26 neonates with seizures had ...

متن کاملContinuous EEG monitoring of neonatal seizures: diagnostic and prognostic considerations.
We recruited 275 full term and preterm infants into a prospective evaluation of continuous four channel electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring in the diagnosis and prognosis of neonatal seizures. EEG seizure activity was found in 55 infants; clinical signs were completely simultaneous in only 12 of these, they were present but limited in another 20, and were completely absent in the remaining...
