To identify EEG changes that could predict impending cardiac arrest (CA) in neonates with congenital heart disease undergoing postoperative continuous EEG monitoring.Single-center observational study of neonates who underwent cardiac surgery and had CA postoperatively while undergoing EEG monitoring from 2012-2018. Clinical data were extracted from the medical record. EEG backgrounds were evaluated at defined time-points using standardized...
