Advances in clinical applications of amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram in premature infants / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG)is a new method for bedside monitoring of cerebral function which is gradually used in clinical routine.Although the grading criteria has not been unified, some studies suggest that aEEG recorded during the very early period after birth can not only indicate the maturation of brain development, but also provide values of clinical application on the early identification, determination of the severity and long-term prognosis assessment of brain injury(e.g.white matter injury, intracranial hemorrhage, etc.)in premature infants.
