The brains of children admitted to intensive care units are at considerable risk. Electrophysiologic techniques are the most suitable of available methods for uninterrupted surveillance of brain function. Although the use of routine electroencephalography for this purpose is impractical, automated electroencephalographic signal analysis and application of digital computer technology have made continuous monitoring of cerebral function feasible. Various methods of displaying modified electroencephalographic data in an understandable and interpretable form have been developed; the most commonly used devices are the cerebral function monitor and the compressed spectral array. Practical clinical applications and limitations of continuous cerebral function monitoring are discussed.
入住重症监护病房的儿童大脑面临着相当大的风险。电生理技术是现有方法中最适合对脑功能进行不间断监测的。虽然为此目的使用常规脑电图是不切实际的，但自动脑电图信号分析和数字计算机技术的应用使连续监测脑功能成为可能。已经开发出各种以易于理解和解释的形式显示经修改的脑电图数据的方法；最常用的设备是脑功能监测仪和压缩谱阵。本文讨论了连续脑功能监测的实际临床应用和局限性。
