Is moderate hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns treatable?

Patient's question:

Born without breathing, later resuscitated with weak breathing, then sent to a large hospital, diagnosed with neonatal hypoxic encephalopathy. Currently still in the intensive care unit. I would like to consult if such a baby will have sequelae in the future~

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally a syndrome primarily characterized by posture and movement dysfunction, often caused by brain damage, and is commonly accompanied by symptoms such as intellectual defects, epilepsy, behavioral abnormalities, mental disorders, as well as visual, auditory, and language impairments. It is usually recommended to seek medical guidance for targeted comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, and the use of nutritional medications for repair and regulation. Attention should be paid to regular check-ups to determine the specific condition.
