Video-EEG monitoring in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy treated with hypothermia

Abstract

Background: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is becoming standard of care in newborns with

EEG background features that predict outcome in term neonates with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy: A structured review

“…However not all reported better test characteristics at 6 h than earlier with Shany et al (2006) reporting the sensitivity of burst suppression at 3 h to be 83% and at 6 h to be 75%. Hallberg et al, 2010;Thoresen et al, 2010;Ancora et al, 2011;Hamelin et al, 2011;Nash et al, 2011;Gucuyener et al, 2012;Csek} o et al, 2013) used hypothermia in their HIE management. Letter 'b' and 'a' after the year of publication in the forest plots indicate the measure before and after cooling respectively of the same study.…”

A new electroencephalogram classification with reduced recording time in asphyxiated term infants

“…However, we consider that the maximum grade was a better predictor than minimum grade because the AUC and sensitivity were slightly greater for the maximum grade than for the minimum grade. Many reports have demonstrated the high predictive value of cEEG [6][7][8][9]. In most of these studies, cEEG recording commenced more than 10 h after birth, except in the study by Murray et al [7], in which cEEG recording was initiated a mean of 5 h after birth.…”

“…Conventional electroencephalogram (cEEG) is a highly reliable predictor of outcome in term infants with HIE [6][7][8][9]. However, the previous cEEG classification criteria require a recording time of 45-120 min because assessments of sleep-wake cycles or cEEG patterns during all sleep stages are needed for most of these criteria.…”

Design and optimisation of time-frequency analysis for multichannel neonatal EEG background features in term neonates with hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy: characterisation, classification and neurodevelopmental outcome prediction

“…EEG appears not to be significantly affected by HT [113,114] and so it is reasonable to include studies with babies treated with HT as we have done for [47,[51][52][53][54][55].…”
