Innovative Monitoring Model for Seizure Risk Stratification
(e.g. Hypothermia Patients)
The most recent ACNS Guidelines for monitoring newnborns - state that continuous video-EEG remains the gold standard for assessing encephalopathy and detecting seizures in neonates. CortiCare has combined this recommended monitoring modality with intermittent monitoring to provide a cost-effective method for long-term surveillance of newborns with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).
Seizure by Patient during Hypothermia Therapy
In a study of 26 newborns on HT Therapy seizures were detected in 76% of the patient during the cooling phase and in the first 48 hours. A substansial number has seizures onset much later.
