“…In term infants, inactive and burst-suppression patterns have been shown to occur in severely diseased neonates who did not survive or developed a severe encephalopathy (Monod and Ducas 1968, Dreyjus-Brisac etal 1969, EnKel 1975, Tharp et al 1977, Watanabe 1978. The poor prognosis of these patterns is confirmed by the demise of five neonates in the present study who showed these abnormalities in their EEG.…”

“…2. Burst-suppression: Activity having attenuated periods (less than 5 JlV) alternating with bursts of paroxysmal aetivity with no regular periodicity; lability and usually no rcactivity (Monod and Dreyfus-Brisac 1962)~and without any rhythms which are considered to be physiologie in different conceptional ages (Tharp et al 1977).…”

“…The prognostic value of the EEG in premature and term neonates is weIl established (Dreyfus-Brisac et al 1969, M onod and Ducas 1962, Staudt and Engel 1980, Tharp et al 1977, Watanabe et al 1977. Specifically, it has been shown that in neonatal seizures the background activity of the EEG is of far greater prognostic significance than the paroxysmal abnormalities (Watanabe 1978).…”

Phenobarbital Therapy in Neonatal Seizures and the Prognostic Value of the EEG¹

et al. 1982

High plasma levels of phenobarbital are known to produce profound effects on the EEG background activity. Phenobarbital therapy frequently is administered to the neonate with seizures prior to the first EEG recording. Therefore, it is questionable whether in these neonates alterations of the EEG background activity are related to anticonvulsive therapy. A total of 26 neonates with seizures had an EEG while on phenobarbital therapy. In five cases an EEG was available prior to this treatment. Suppression of the background activity in the EEG was seen in 17 neonates of whom two had an inactive tracing and three a burst-suppression pattern. Moderate suppression occurred in five infants, mild suppression is seven infants. The suppression of the background activity correlated with the clinical outcome. The phenobarbital plasma levels in the group with severe or moderate suppression, mild suppression and normal background activity did not show statistically significant differences. Thus, the suppression of the EEG background activity in neonates with phenobarbital plasma levels of 1.3 to 5.9 mg/dl are secondary to brain pathology rather than medication.
