How to use: amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) ARCHIVES OF DISEASE IN CHILDHOOD-EDUCATION AND PRACTICE EDITION Shah, N. A., Wusthoff, C. J. 2015; 100 (2): 75-81

Abstract

Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is a method for continuous monitoring of brain activity that is increasingly used in the neonatal intensive care unit. In its simplest form, aEEG is a processed single-channel electroencephalogram that is filtered and time-compressed. Current evidence demonstrates that aEEG is useful to monitor cerebral background activity, diagnose and treat seizures and predict neurodevelopmental outcomes for preterm and term infants. This review aims to explain the fundamentals behind aEEG and its clinical applications.
