When Does a Newborn Need an EEG? NICU vs Outpatient Evaluation Explained
In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, host Bradley Beauchamp, BS, R. EEG T., CLTM, sits down with Dr. Mitzi Payne, pediatric neurologist and epileptologist, to break down one of the most important distinctions in neonatal neurology: inpatient vs. outpatient EEGs.
Bradley and Dr. Payne walk through the differences between babies in the NICU and those who’ve already gone home but return for evaluation. From prematurity and therapeutic hypothermia to common concerns like jerking, twitching, and febrile seizures, Dr. Payne explains what providers look for, how gestational age impacts interpretation, and why timing matters so much in the first 4 weeks.
The conversation also covers:
• When abnormal movements are seizures and when they’re not
• How cooling therapy protects the brain after hypoxic injury
• What parents should document before an evaluation
• Red flags like infantile spasms that require urgent care
If you work in neonatal care, pediatric neurology, or simply want a clearer understanding of how EEG guides early-life decision making, this episode delivers practical insight grounded in real clinical experience.
