Comparison Between Simultaneously Recorded Amplitude Integrated Electroencephalogram (Cerebral Function Monitor) and Standard Electroencephalogram in Neonates

Abstract

CFM is a reliable tool for monitoring both background patterns (especially normal and severely abnormal) and ictal activity. Certain focal, low amplitude, and very short periods of seizure discharges can be missed. We recommend using CFM as a monitoring device and performing intermittent standard EEG whenever there is any doubt about the classification of the CFM (ie, DNV pattern or suspected epileptiform activity).
