Seizures in Newborns Can Be Detected with Small, Portable Brain Activity Monitors, Washington University in St. Louis Study Shows

Washington University -- Compact, bedside brain-activity monitors detected most seizures in at-risk infants, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis showed. That means the compact units could assist clinicians in monitoring for electrical seizures until confirmation with conventional EEG (electroencephalography), the researchers assert in an article published in the June issue of Pediatrics.
