Subclinical seizures identified by postoperative electroencephalographic monitoring are common after neonatal cardiac surgery

The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society recommends continuous electroencephalographic monitoring after neonatal cardiac surgery because seizures are common, often subclinical, and associated with worse neurocognitive outcomes. We performed a quality improvement project to monitor for postoperative seizures in neonates with congenital heart disease after surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.We implemented routine continuous...
