Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography: A Primer for Neonatologists and Practitioners in the NICU
Abstract
Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is an essential tool used in the NICU to monitor infants with central nervous system pathology and encephalopathy. This review provides a summary of aEEG, including clinical indications, interpretation of different tracing patterns, and seizure identification, which are essential skills for teams caring for sick newborns. We also discuss the limitations of the clinical application of aEEG in this population.
