What Role Does EEG Play in Managing Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)?
HIE is a severe condition resulting from reduced oxygen and blood flow to the brain. EEG is invaluable in the initial assessment and ongoing monitoring of infants with HIE. Continuous EEG monitoring can help assess the severity of brain injury, guide therapeutic interventions like therapeutic hypothermia, and evaluate the risk of long-term neurological impairments.
