Role of cerebral function monitoring in the newborn

L S de Vries et al. Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed. 2005 May.

Abstract

For many years, newborn infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units have had routine electrocardiography and been monitored for respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure. Only recently has it also been considered important to monitor brain function using continuous electroencephalography. The role of cerebral function monitoring in sick full term and preterm infants is reviewed.
