Continuous Video Electroencephalographic (EEG) Monitoring for Electrographic Seizure Diagnosis in Neonates: A Single-Center Study.
The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic yield of continuous video electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring in critically ill neonates in the setting of a novel, university-based Neonatal Neurocritical Care Service. Patient demographic characteristics, indication for seizure monitoring, and presence of electrographic seizures were obtained by chart review. Among 595 patients ...
متن کاملPhenobarbitone, neonatal seizures, and video-EEG.
AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness of phenobarbitone as an anticonvulsant in neonates. METHODS An observational study using video-EEG telemetry. Video-EEG was obtained before treatment was started, for an hour after treatment was given, two hours after treatment was given, and again between 12 and 24 hours after treatment was given. Patients were recruited from all babies who required phenoba...
متن کاملMapping cortical haemodynamics during neonatal seizures using diffuse optical tomography: A case study
Seizures in the newborn brain represent a major challenge to neonatal medicine. Neonatal seizures are poorly classified, under-diagnosed, difficult to treat and are associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcome. Video-EEG is the current gold-standard approach for seizure detection and monitoring. Interpreting neonatal EEG requires expertise and the impact of seizures on the developing brain r...
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...
متن کاملFocal motor seizure with automatisms in a newborn.
Continuous synchronized video-EEG-polygraphic recordings allow us to better define the electroclinical patterns of epileptic events and to study the semiological features of neonatal seizures. Recently, complex behaviours and motor automatisms in newborns have been reported as being epileptic in nature. However, the debate on physiopathology (cortical or brainstem release phenomena) is ongoing....
