Patient's question:
The child's condition was unstable right after birth, with difficulty breathing, and the child was severely hypoxic and ischemic. So, the doctor went for further examinations to determine other conditions. Do you know the cause of ischemia? Could you please tell me how to treat neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a great pleasure to assist you. Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is primarily caused by fetal intrauterine hypoxia or hypoxia during delivery. If neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is not treated promptly, it may cause certain damage to the infant's intelligence. The treatment mainly focuses on improving the metabolism of damaged neurons, reducing intracranial pressure, alleviating cerebral edema, eliminating jaundice, and anticonvulsant therapy, among others.
