What should be done about neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?

Patient's question:

On the second day of the baby's birth, it was discovered that the right side was twitching and shaking. CT showed ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

1. Early detection, early treatment. The earlier, the better. This can not only promote the normal development of the nervous system, improve abnormal posture and movement, and suppress abnormal reflexes, but also prevent secondary complications such as tendon contracture and bone joint deformities, reducing disability rates.
2. Comprehensive treatment. Based on the principles of neurodevelopment and kinematics, Vojta and Bobath methods are primarily used, supplemented by fine motor skills training and language therapy, along with appropriate physical therapy.
