Patient's question:
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns, diagnosed with respiratory distress two hours after birth, brain CT Hu value 13, intravenous fluid for 14 days, full moon review CT Hu value 12, but clinical response is good.Doctor's answer:
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in newborns refers to acute and chronic damage to brain tissue caused by insufficient cerebral blood flow and hypoxia. It is commonly seen in cases of respiratory and cardiac arrest, shock, carbon monoxide poisoning, status epilepticus, and myasthenia gravis. Newborn brain damage is primarily associated with perinatal asphyxia. The main treatment methods involve reducing intracranial pressure and nourishing brain cells. Early treatment has a better prognosis, while late treatment has a poorer prognosis. In the later stages, it is important to strengthen rehabilitation exercises and continue monitoring.
