Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of phenobarbital on neuropsychiatric development in neonates with epileptic convulsions.

Methods

Fifty-nine cases of neonatal epileptic convulsions, admitted to neonatology department of Dongguan Marina Bay Central Hospital from January 2016 to June 2018, were selected as the research object, and they were randomly divided into observation group and the control group. Observation group was treated with phenobarbital electrical and clinical control (without convulsion, without abnormal discharge of cerebral cortex and convulsion wave) and the control group treated by phenobarbital clinical symptoms only control (without convulsion, but there are abnormal discharge of cerebral cortex, convulsion wave). The differences of electroencephalogram (EEG)-clinical symptom treatment results, dosage, sequelae, mental development index and psychomotor development index were compared between the 2 groups.

Results

The recurrence rate of convulsion in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), the normal rate of EEG was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of sequelae (P>0.05). The dosage of phenobarbital in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MDI and PDI scores between the observation group and the control group at the 6th and 12th months(P>0.05), while the MDI and PDI scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group at the 18th month (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Increase the dose to control the electro-clinical seizure of neonates with epileptic convulsion is more effective than only controlling the seizure of clinical symptoms, and has advantage of the neurological behavior and development of neonates.
