Indications de l'électroencéphalogramme en période néonatale

Technical recommendations and interpretation guidelines for electroencephalography for premature and full-term newborns

“…They are also guided by the occurrence of clinical events. The EEG must be repeated to determine maturation dynamics (Table 4) [5,[29][30][31].…”

“…EEG is the only way to accurately identify and quantify whether or not such paroxysmal clinical events are seizures [23,29,44,45]. The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) task force emphasizes the role of EEG in the diagnosis of seizures in the neonate.…”

“…The chronology of the recordings varies depending on the clinical evolution. The diagnosis of seizures requires EEG monitoring for at least several hours, ideally 24, to guide treatment and establish the prognosis [29,44]. After the acute phase, it is important to perform an EEG at least once a week.…”

“…After the acute phase, it is important to perform an EEG at least once a week. In the event of an abnormal trace in conjunction with sedation, a control EEG should be carried out once sedation has been stopped [29].…”

“…• The gain or amplification is initially set to 10 µV/mm and regularly adjusted on the digital device [5,12,29].…”
