Applicability
-Mainly, new born
-No pattern for adults, except by 2 settings
a. post-cardiac arrest
b. NICU szs detection
Classifications
-Hellström-Westas→ 5 categories, term & preterm
-al Naqeeb→ 3 categories, only term
Explanation
1. CNV: LM 5–10 µV, UM 10–50 µV
2. DNV: LM < 5 µV, UM > 10 µV
3. BS: LM 0–2 µV, and bursts exceed 25 µV.
BS+: > 100 bursts per hour.
BS−: < 100 bursts per hour.
4. CLV: < 5 µV, with everything < 10 µV.
5. FT/isoelectric: no activity, < 5 µV.
Adults
a. post–cardiac arrest
-CNV recovery time→ best predictor
>CNV within about 24 h predicted good outcome
>At least Fp1-Fp2
b. NICU szs detection
>recommended 1h windows, miss 30s szs
