Multimodal Neuromonitoring Lecture Series

Advancing and Integrating EEG Monitoring into Pediatric Neurocritical Care

A four-part virtual lecture series from the PNCRG Multimodal Neuromonitoring (MNM) Subgroup. The series culminates in a hybrid workshop at the Fall 2026 PNCRG meeting in Seattle, with the goal of producing a peer-reviewed consensus publication on practical EEG implementation in pediatric neurocritical care.

Co-chaired by Craig A. Press, MD, PhD (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) and Bradley De Souza, MD (Children's Hospital Los Angeles / USC) on behalf of the PNCRG Multimodal Neuromonitoring Subgroup.
