Detailed Description:

Electrocoagulation is used for bleeding control on usual basis in cesarean sections and other surgical procedures .

We are planning to test the effect of electrocoagulation unipolar on neonatal brain waves compared with neonates that were exposed to bipolar electrocoagulation .Bipolar electrocoagulation should have les of an effect because of it coagulates in a close ,closed electrical cycle .
