Abstrakt		The prognostic value and outcome prediction of background activity and its specific changes in newborns has been well documented. At all ages and also during neonatal life electroencephalography (EEG) represents a reliable method for early detection of functional abnormalities, especially the paroxysmal ones. EEG allows us also to assess brain function after different structural impairments, especially hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy and other brain insults. During the newborn period the specific EEG pattern can suggest certain diagnostic conditions (e.g. herpetic encephalitis, hyperammoniaemia and other inborn errors of metabolism, pyridoxine dependency and even some syndromes, such as Zellweger syndrome). Many authors claim high sensitivity and specificity of the follow-up EEG pattern during the first year of life (serial EEG recordings) for predicting the time of the lesion (prenatal, perinatal or postnatal) as well as final outcome (normal, cerebral palsy, mental retardation). Beside the standard method of EEG recording that demands a laboratory and a skilled team of neurophysiological assistants, and above all expert knowledge in the field of child electroencephalography (especially during the early developmental period), a new method has recently been brought forward - continuous cerebral function monitoring (CFM) by amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG). This method enables non-invasive and continuous monitoring of brain functions and is a highly reliable and sensitive method for early detection of brain impairments and prediction of final outcome. This method has been recommended for neonatal intensive care units and is designed for use at departments with no Neurophysiology Unit and no possibility of using standard EEG. The authors discuss the role and significance of standard EEG, and then describe the technique and usefulness of aEEG. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters)
