Prof Geraldine Boylan, Dr Aisling Garvey, Dr Ted Andelius and Dr Raymand Pang
Morning session: The ESPR European Baby Brain Club Presents: aEEG/EEG - the basics
Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and EEG are central to modern neonatal critical care and an essential modality for neonatologists and translational neuroscientist. In term infants, aEEG/EEG is used to assess prognosis and guide treatment for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, seizures, meningitis, and congenital heart disease. For preterm infants, normative values and patterns linked to gestational age are being established. This workshop aims to provide a practical approach to the interpretation of aEEG/EEG in neonates.
09.00 – 10.00 The Basics of aEEG/EEG – relevant neurophysiology, channels, physics/engineering elements Sean Mathieson, Ireland 10.00 – 11.00 Basic EEG interpretation in the term and preterm infant Geraldine Boylan, Ireland 11.00 – 11.30 COFFEE BREAK 11.30 – 13.00 Practical Workshop: aEEG/EEG lead placement and EEG interpretation stations Ted Andelius, Aisling Garvey, Ray Pang 13.00 – 14.00 LUNCH BREAK Afternoon session: Automated analysis for Neonatal EEG Interpretation Digital EEG signals are perfect for quantitative analysis and automated machine learning algorithms for seizure detection and interpretation of the neonatal EEG are coming on stream. It is important for all clinicians to understand how they work and what they can and cannot do. This workshop provides an introduction to quantitative EEG analysis and machine learning techniques and explores how they are now being used to support EEG interpretation in the NICU as well as outlining their ability to support diagnosis, management, and prognosis for critically ill neonates. 14.00 – 14.40 Machine learning: what is it and how can it help assess the neonatal EEG Robert Hogan, Ireland 14.40 – 15.20 Automated analysis for assessment of newborn brain state (BSN) Sampsa Vanhatalo, Finland 15.20 – 16.00 Machine learning for preterm EEG analysis John O’Toole, Ireland 16:00 - 16:40 Automated neonatal seizure detection in clinical practice Andreea Pavel, Ireland 16.40 – 17.00 Discussion and closing
