title: Digital trend analysis in the pediatric and neonatal intensive care units.
abstract: Continuous EEG monitoring has become an essential modality for monitoring the central nervous system in the critically ill and has expanded beyond seizure detection. The massive amount of data generated and the associated logistical problems have limited the timely interpretation of these data. Digital trending analysis is a complimentary tool that creates a graphic display of the EEG data that may be visualized and interpreted at the bedside. This article reviews the use of digital trending analysis for pediatric and neonatal continuous EEG monitoring and its limitations.
