Normal EEG in very premature infants: reference criteria.
Clinical Neurophysiology : Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology 2000 December
OBJECTIVES: Objectives were to precise EEG criteria of normality in very premature infants.
METHODS: The neonatal electroencephalograms (EEGs) of 17 neurologically normal very premature infants recorded at a conceptional age (CA) of 26-28 weeks have been analyzed. The normality of the infants was defined as normal neonatal cranial ultrasound scans and normal neurological outcome at a minimum postnatal age of 2 years.
RESULTS: All tracings were discontinuous. The bursts (amplitude >/=30 microV) were interhemispherically synchronous and lasted up to 3 min. The interburst intervals lasted up to 46 s. EEG patterns consisted mainly of slow waves (
CONCLUSIONS: EEG has constant and reproductible patterns in normal very premature infants. This can constitute a basis for the determination of EEG criteria for neurological prognosis in infants of 26-28 weeks CA.
