Introduction:
The development of two-channel aEEG monitors in recent years has allowed for the detection of unilateral brain lesions, and for guided decision-making in real time for infants admitted to the neonatal unit.
Objective And Methods:
To highlight some of the main clinical situations in NICU where two-channel amplitude-integrated electroencephalography may provide important additional information to one-channel monitoring. aEEG recordings were obtained from Olympic Brainz® Monitor, which records a two-channel aEEG as well as a raw EEG from two electrodes over each hemisphere.
Results:
This article describes the advantages of the use of the two-channel aEEG in different clinical scenarios of the newborn infant: infarct, brain malformation, subdural hygroma, subgaleal bleeding, and preterm brain damage.
Conclusions:
Two-channel monitoring allows the detection of asymmetries in aEEG trends and/or epileptic activity that may reflect unilateral brain pathology, and it conditions diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in clinical practice.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
