Dear Editor
We read, with interest, the paper by Rennie et al.[1] comparing seizure detection from simultansous EEG and cerebral function monitor (CFM) recordings. Their group is known to have a specific interest in neonatal neurophysiology and they have an enviable video-EEG set-up. Data from their experience with this technique is available in previous publications.[2,3]
Sadly, in most neonatal in...

Dear Editor
Rennie highlighted the problems of using the Lectromed cerebral function monitor (CFM) for identifying seizures, when compared with a video EEG system. However, few if any neonatal units have the facilities and expertise for performing video EEG monitoring and a single standard EEG is not helpful for assessing seizures.
Previous studies have confirmed the value of the amplitude integrated EEG...
