Abstract Continuous monitoring of electroencephalography ( EEG ), with a focus on amplitude‐integrated EEG ( aEEG ), has been used in neonatal intensive care for decades. A number of systems have been suggested for describing and quantifying aEEG patterns. Extensive full‐montage EEG monitoring is used in specialised intensive care units. The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society published recommendations for defining and reporting EEG findings in critically ill adults and infants. Swedish neonatologists and clinical neurophysiologists collaborated to optimise simplified neonatal continuous aEEG and EEG recordings based on these American documents. Conclusion This paper describes the Swedish consensus document produced by those meetings.
