An Atlas of Amplitude-Integrated EEGs in the Newborn 3rd Edition

This new edition updates the definitive clinical atlas-textbook on interpreting continuous amplitude-integrated electroencephalography monitoring in neonatal units. It presents a comprehensive instructive overview linking tracings, scans, neuro-imaging, real-time tracing clips, and detailed clinical scenarios and is an invaluable guide to all those needing to learn how to use aEEG for the best and safest results. An online quiz is available to enhance training and performance.

This third edition of the aEEG atlas summarizes the experience and evidence of more than 40 years of aEEG monitoring in the newborn and also addresses the development and future of brain monitoring.
