Clinical application of amplitude integrated electroencephalography in full term newborns with hypoxic ischemic brain damage

Due to the fact that early full term newborn has no specific clinical signs,early diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage is difficult. Timely intervention will affect the longterm prognosis in patients with the treatment and survival. Amplitude integrated electroencephalography（ aEEG） is a noninvasive monitoring and evaluation of brain function,simple and effective method,which can provide exact basis for full term newborn with hypoxic ischemic brain damage in early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis. Key words: Amplitude integrated electroencephalography; Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy; Early diagnosis; Evaluation of prognosis; Neonate
