Amplitude-integrated EEG: a useful electrophysiological tool in prognosis of asphyctic babies

Background: Perinatal asphyxia remains one of the most important causes for neonatal mortality and morbidities such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy and cognitive impairment. Amplitude-integrated EEG (cerebral function monitoring CFM) has become a standard diagnostic tool in asphyctic babies providing an easy bedside method for early brain injury assessment and for prognosis. Methods: We reviewed all cases of neonatal asphyxia (pH
