CerebraLogik – Dual Channel EEG and aEEG

Continuous Electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring gives direct information on brain function in newborn infants needing intensive care.

To improve the possibilities of long-term monitoring, the EEG can be time-compressed and recorded with a reduced number of electrodes. A trend measure of the EEG, the amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), has proved capable of giving relevant information in newborn infants of differing levels of maturity.

The electrocortical background activity gives information on the level of brain activity, which is associated with outcome in both term asphyxiated infants and in preterm infants. The aEEG also reveals subclinical epileptic seizure activity, and can be used for evaluation of anti-epileptic treatment.

For this reason, aEEG has become a part of the routine neurological care in the neonatal units, especially in full-term infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic-Encephalopathy and in infants suspected of seizures. Its prognostic value after birth asphyxia is well established and seizure detection has improved with the new digital aEEG devices with access to the “real” EEG2.

aEEG can be classified according to pattern or voltage criteria, both equally good methods. The voltage classification is easier to use for clinicians with little experience in reading aEEG, but one should always try to assess the underlying pattern.

aEEG on Criticool Pro System

The CerebraLogik can also be connected to the Criticool Pro, thus providing staff a complete “one-stop-shop” workstation for hypothermia treated patients:

• Monitor and Record Vital signs
• Monitor and Record EEG and aEEG
• Regulate Hypothermia
