WB2527 Timely Topics in Neonatal Neurology Course
WB2527 Timely Topics in Neonatal Neurology Course is organized by National Certification Corporation (NCC).The Course has been Approved for a Maximum of Contact Hours: 10.00 Credits
Expiration: 12/31/2025
Content Outline:
• An Overview of Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography (aEEG) for NICU Care Providers
• Seizure Diagnosis and Management in Preterm Neonate
Objectives:
• Discuss the clinical applicationsand limitations for use ofamplitude-integratedencephalography (aEEG) in the neonatal population
• Outline the process for aEEGelectrode selection andapplication to reduce impedance levels and maximize theaccuracy of tracing interpretation
• Compare the two most widely used approaches to aEEG classification based on amplitude or pattern generation and identify the categories within each approach
• Recall the distinct profile of seizure etiologies, timing and characteristics observed in preterm neonates
• Describe the features of electroencephalography (EEG)monitoring in preterm infants and summarize the recommendations for EEG monitoring and management of seizure in this population
• Review the features of EEG background and the evolution and maturation of tracings over time in relation to their usefulness as tools for outcome predictions in preterm infants with seizures
