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.
ABSTRACT
The amplitude integrated electroencephalogram is a simplified form of electroencephalogram,which can monitor electroencephalogram background activity and analyze the figures' continuity,cycling,the amplitude of the lower border and bandwidth,evaluate the preterm infants' brain maturity prognosis.It has the advantages of simple operation,intuitive figure,small interference and other features.It is an important noninvasive assessment of functional state of the brain cortex in recent years.This paper reviews the amplitude integrated EEG principle,pattern analysis,clinical application of brain function monitoring in preterm infants.
