StratusEEG ICU/NICU

Stratus EEG ICU/NICU

Seizures are an Emergency

Seizures in the neonatal period are relatively common according to the international literature and the presence of neonatal seizures is known to be a powerful predictor of long-term cognitive and developmental impairment.

 “Electroencephalography (EEG) provides useful information about neonatal brain health and prognosis.”

The ICU challenge – inspiring modern technology to do better!

The point of care has evolved with modern technology and today aEEG is widely used in the NICU and has become a standard of care in many places.

Access to EEG specialists for the setup and analysis is a great challenge in most NICUs. The challenge has inspired Lifelines iEEG in the development of our pioneering solution for the NICU so that we now provide a simple to use, bedside EEG brain monitor – yet a comprehensive EEG recording device, utilizing new and modern technology for the benefit of the patient.

  • Intuitive software guiding the user through the workflow
  • Easy setup of electrodes
  • Dedicated NICU trends to facilitate basic understanding of EEG data – aEEG and Burst Suppression
  • iEEG Cloud Services to facilitate the consulting of specialists remotely

 

Monitoring the brain is not new – but it has improved!

EEG has proven to be an efficient way of monitoring brain function in neonates. Monitoring brain function has a prognostic value and is a reliable instrument in decisions making in the NICU according to the IFCN Guidelines for Neonatal-EEG.

Over the last years, neonatologists and neurologist have gained a considerable knowledge about the newborn brain and neonatal seizures using amplitude integrated EEG (aEEG).

StratusEEG now provides the ICU with a simple to use, bedside EEG brain monitor –
yet a comprehensive EEG recording device, utilising new and modern technology for the
benefit of the patient.
