Protocol

Biopharma Insights Here, we show how to apply amplitude-integrated electroencephalography to monitor cerebral function in neonates.

Difficulty
intermediate
Total time
~10-15 min per neonate application and initial recording

Steps

1
Prepare skin and position aEEG electrodes

Clean and prepare the neonatal scalp surface, then position amplitude-integrated EEG electrodes according to standard electrode placement protocols for cerebral monitoring.
