Abstract

<abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="author" id="ab005"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <p id="sp005">The computer technologies advancement with the spread of hospital wireless networks has introduced the new concept of Telemedicine. This has increased the responsibility of Neurophysiological Technologist(NT), called in the "front line" to interact with the Neurophysiologist in another forum. Provide our management experience in Neonatal-ICU that connects quickly the work of the neonatologist's ICU with the neurophysiologist in his clinic, using the wireless system. Standardised collection, agreed with the neurophysiologist, medical history and the Video Capture(VC) of locomotor repertoire of the neonate, prior to the neurophysiological examination. Improving of the skills of the NT in early recognition of pathological movements to enhanced their monitoring and VideoEEG enforcement. For each newborne "tailored", anamnestic, somatic and clinical data on-board-computerized were collected.; before the 1 h-VideoEEG-recording, we performed Short-VC(5′-10′) viewable both off and on-line, to evaluating neonates' spontaneous movements and subsequent neurological assessment simplified by Mercuri's table (2005) sharing of two parts for the anamnestic collection and for a first clinical approach of neurological newborn, useful for improving the interpretation of neurophysiological data. The competence and reliability of the NT can implement the synergy of different professional figures in the diagnosis and treatment in Neonatal ICU using "WI-FI".</p> </sec> </abstract>
