Summary
Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring offers bedside, noninvasive, diffuse, and continuous information about brain function. These characteristics allow clinicians to assess brain function, evaluate for changes in brain function over time, and identify electrographic seizures that are often not clinically observable. These advantages have led to widespread and increasing use of cEEG in critically ill patients across the age spectrum. This chapter introduces cEEG in critically ill neonates and children including seizure epidemiology (incidence and risk factors), the relationship between electrographic seizures and outcome, available consensus statements and guidelines, and role of quantitative EEG.
