Alpha-Delta Ratio for Detection of Cerebral Injury and Stroke in Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Introduction: To assess the alpha-delta ratio (ADR) as a biomarker for cerebral injury and stroke in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Methods: Retrospective study of children aged >44 weeks gestation to 21 years monitored with continuous electroencephalography during ECMO. The interhemispheric ADR difference between the left and right hemisphere was calculated per hour.

Background EEG Suppression Ratio for Early Detection of Cerebral Injury in Pediatric Cardiac Arrest.

Background: Our objective was to assess the utility of the 1-h suppression ratio (SR) as a biomarker of cerebral injury and neurologic prognosis after cardiac arrest (CA) in the pediatric hospital setting.

Methods: Prospectively, we reviewed data from children presenting after CA and monitored by continuous electroencephalography (cEEG). Patients aged 1 month to 21 years were included.

Continuous Video Electroencephalography (EEG) for Event Characterization in Critically Ill Children.

Objective: To determine features of paroxysmal events and background electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities associated with electroclinical seizures in critically ill children who undergo continuous video EEG to characterize clinical events.

Methods: This is a prospective study of critically ill children from July 2016 to October 2018. Non-neonates with continuous video EEG indication to characterize a clinical event were included.
