Event Details
Course introduction:
External ventricular drains (EVDs) are commonly used in brain-injured patients to diagnose intracranial hypertension. The accuracy of the intracranial pressure reading is dependent on zeroing the external transducer to air. Recent concern about zeroing techniques has been identified in the neuroscience community. The open method requires removing the nonvented cap, and the closed method requires zeroing through the filter at the top of the burette. This webinar will explore whether zeroing a transducer on an EVD through the filter of the burette provides the same baseline zero as opening the transducer to air.
Course Objectives:
-
- Contrast two methods for zeroing a transducer on an external ventricular drain
- Appraise current literature related to zeroing a transducer
- Explain the role of medical device instructions for use
- Review future research opportunities
This eSeminar is valid for 1.0 Contact hour. Natus Medical Incorporated is a provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing. Provider Number 16614 for 1.0 contact hour.

Event Details
Course introduction:
This eSeminar will give a comprehensive overview on the current knowledge and use of amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) in the pediatric intensive care unit with a focus on the pediatric cardiac ICU. Knowledge of normal values away from the neonatal period and limitations will be discussed. Cases will underline why neuromonitoring is important in the PICU and how it can help.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eseminar the participants will be able to:
-
- Know the normal values of aEEG in pediatric patients and pitfalls
- Understand indications in the PICU and cardiac PICU where neuromonitoring can help
- Know the course of brain activity during cardiopulmonary bypass
- Know the high risk population for neurodamage in congenital heart disease
This course is eligible for 1.0 CEC by ASET – The Neurodiagnostic Society

Karl Florian Schettler is Chief of Pediatrics and Hospital Director at the Children’s Hospital St. Marien of Landshut in Germany, a teaching affiliate of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. He is board certified in Neonatology, Pediatric Intensive Care, Pediatric Cardiology and Pediatric Diabetology. He has a Master Degree in Health Business Administration. He is also President-Elect of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC). Dr. Schettler was one of the first clinical adaptors of aEEG in Germany 20 years ago. He started the first training workshops on cerebral function monitoring and has a long-time experience in the field of education. His key areas of research include aEEG and influence of hemodynamics and further implementation of aEEG into pediatric intensive care. He gives regular lectures on neonatal and pediatric brain monitoring at conferences and events worldwide and has published a booklet on aEEG. He also helps hospitals as an advisor for adapting and implementing cerebral function monitoring into routine care.
