@neurocritical @JonathanKurz2 @jamieghossein @SPICYICU @CaseyMayPharmD @karenccrx We see more epileptic encephalopathies than the adult populations. Being able to differentiate ncse from baseline background activity can be challenging in such patients.

This could prove to be an important paper - makes the case for invasive neurological monitoring and goal-directed therapy post-cardiac arrest. Need to build towards an RCT.Goal-Directed Care Using Invasive Neuromonitoring Versus... : Critical Care Medicine https://t.co/KmyCoRu9EF

Expert consensus: Cerebral autoregulation measurement important for individualising #ICU care of #TBI

Research agenda: Methods & prospective safety, feasibility and efficacy studies (...coming very soon!)

The new ACNS guideline on cEEG has just been published - now all inclusive: with seizures and status epilepticus too. Lots of useful infographics and examples.

Honored to help lead this project, supported by so many experts on #HIE. Clinical factors in the first hours of life after HIE can aid in determining risk of NDI at or after 1 year. @AAPJournals @unmc @childrensomaha @neonatologyunmc @CHRI_researchne https://t.co/FakGighOlQ
