What should be done about hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns?

Patient's question:

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy after treatment showed no significant abnormalities in the cerebral parenchyma. The gray-white matter differentiation was clear. The ventricular system size and shape showed no significant abnormalities. The sulci and cisterns were clear. The midline structures were centralized.

Doctor's answer:

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in newborns is brain damage caused by reduced or interrupted cerebral blood flow due to hypoxia and various perinatal factors. It is generally classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Based on your child's examination results, it is likely to be mild. Mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy usually has a good prognosis. It is recommended to closely monitor the condition, start early motor training, and strive to promote brain function recovery as much as possible. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are also advised.
