aEEG/EEG from basics to advanced
Coordinators: Prof Geraldine Boylan (Ireland), Dr Raymand Pang (United Kingdom)
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, Raymand 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 Aisling Garvey, Ireland
16.40 – 17.00 Discussion and closing
