Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography Interpretation During Therapeutic Hypothermia: An Educational Program and Novel Teaching Tool.
نویسنده
چکیده
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is now considered a standard in tertiary NICUs. Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is an important adjunct to this therapy and is gaining acceptance for use on the neonatal population. It can be easily incorporated into practice with appropriate education and training. Current publications are lacking regarding nursing care of neonatal patients undergoing th with the use of aEEG. This article presents a broad educational program as well as novel teaching tool for neonatal nurses caring for this population.

The use of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography combined with continuous conventional electroencephalography during therapeutic hypothermia for an infant with postnatal cardiac arrest
INTRODUCTION Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) has been employed in therapeutic hypothermia (TH) trials of neonates after perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). We present a case report involving the use of aEEG during TH with continuous conventional electroencephalography (cEEG) for an infant who experienced postnatal intraoperative cardiac arrest. CASE DESCRIPTION...
متن کاملAn effective automated method for teaching EEG interpretation to neurology residents
PURPOSE EEG interpretation is a fundamental procedural skill in the practice of neurology, but there is no standardized method for educating residents. One-to-one instruction is commonly employed, but is time intensive for supervising physicians, provides arbitrary exposure to normal and abnormal EEG patterns, and often lacks immediate and detailed feedback on performance. Here, we investigated...
متن کاملDiagnosis, Hypothermia Treatment and Outcome
Hypothermia treatment (HT) is now proven to be neuroprotective, is associated with favourable outcomes, and is considered as the standard of care for moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The treatment should be regionalized with a minimum of ten treated infants per year with regard to securing patient safety, staff training, development and future research. Still, many infa...
متن کاملThe pitfalls of bedside regional cerebral oxygen saturation in the early stage of post cardiac arrest
It remains uncertain whether neuromonitoring reliably predicts outcome in adult post-cardiac arrest patients in the early stage treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Recent reports demonstrated a regional cerebral oxygen saturation of cardiac arrest patients on hospital arrival could predict their neurological outcome. There has been little discussion about the significance of regional cerebral...
متن کاملContinuous Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalographic Monitoring Is a Useful Prognostic Tool for Hypothermia-Treated Cardiac Arrest Patients
BACKGROUND Modern treatments have improved the survival rate following cardiac arrest, but prognostication remains a challenge. We examined the prognostic value of continuous electroencephalography according to time by performing amplitude-integrated electroencephalography on patients with cardiac arrest receiving therapeutic hypothermia. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively studied 130 comat...
