Comparative Study
Detection of subclinical electroencephalographic seizure patterns with multichannel amplitude-integrated EEG in full-term neonates.
To compare the seizure pattern detection rate of single-channel and multichannel amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), using conventional EEG (cEEG) as a gold standard, in full-term neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The optimal electrode derivation for seizure detection with single-channel aEEG was also investigated. ⋯ Single-channel aEEG may detect most patients (in a selected group) with severe neonatal seizures patterns; patient identification can be improved using multichannel recordings.
