The Electroencephalogram in Birth Asphyxia

Book cover Perinatal Asphyxia

Abstract

In the first days of life following birth asphyxia, the assessment of cerebral function is very important. At this critical stage, clinical examination, neuroradiological imaging, and EEG should be included to establish the neurological prognosis. In full-term babies (FTB) and in premature babies (PB), EEG is of help in evaluating the cerebral repercussion of hypoxic episodes.
