ACNS GUIDELINE The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society’s Guideline on Continuous Electroencephalography Monitoring in Neonates
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article offers the preferred methods and indications for longterm, conventional electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring for selected, high-risk neonates of postmenstrual age less than 48 weeks. The authors recognize that there may be significant practical barriers to the implementation of these recommendations for many caregivers and institutions, particularly with regard to the availability of equipment, and technical and interpretive personnel. A wide range of clinical circumstances dictates the implementation of EEG monitoring, frequency of EEG review, and the subsequent treatment of seizures or EEG background abnormalities detected by neonatal EEG. Consequently, this article should be considered as an expression of idealized goals and not as a mandated standard of care.
