Protecting the newborn brain is crucial for neurodevelopmental outcomes. Continuous neuromonitoring, including electroencephalography (EEG), aids in early detection and treatment of brain injury in neonatal intensive care units.

Area of Science:

Neonatal Medicine
Neuroscience
Critical Care Medicine

Background:

Neonatal survival rates have improved, yet neurodevelopmental outcomes remain a concern.
Neurocritical care focuses on protecting the developing brain in newborns.
Brain-focused care integrates clinical practices with early detection and management of brain injury.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce electroencephalography (EEG) as a key neuromonitoring tool for neonatal healthcare professionals.
To highlight the role of continuous brain function monitoring in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Main Methods:

Utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) and amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) for continuous neuromonitoring.
Employing near-infrared spectroscopy as an additional neuromonitoring technique.

Focusing on clinical practices that support neurodevelopment and brain injury management.

Main Results:

Technology enables continuous bedside monitoring of brain function in neonates.
EEG and aEEG provide valuable insights into neonatal brain activity.
Neuromonitoring facilitates early diagnosis and treatment of brain injury.

Conclusions:

Continuous neuromonitoring, particularly EEG, is essential for optimizing neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborns.
Brain-focused care strategies are vital in neonatal intensive care.
Further understanding and application of EEG can enhance neonatal brain protection.
