Application of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram in neonatal brain injury / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Brain injury is the main cause of neonatal death and neurological dysfunction in infants,the sequelae of which are more common,and bring serious harm to the society and the family of the patients.Therefore,early detection of brain damage in high-risk infants,evaluation of its severity and guidance for further treatment have become a hot topic in recent years.People are coming to realize the importance of continuous EEG monitoring of newborns with encephalopathy.Amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) is easy to operate,intuitive and easy to read.It is suitable for prolonged tracing and is suitable for continuous monitoring of brain function in neonatal intensive care unit.This article reviews the aEEG application in clinic,including the newborn with hypoxic ischemia induced brain injury,selection of appropriate patient,hypothermia treatment,neonatal convulsions,premature brain cerebral injury,premature brain maturity assessment,other high-risk infants brain damage diagnosis and efficacy evaluation.
