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

Patient's question:

When I gave birth to my daughter, it took a long time, so she was a bit waterlogged when she was born. A few days after my daughter was born, a thorough examination revealed she had hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Fortunately, my daughter is now showing no abnormalities. I would like to consult a doctor about what to do regarding neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy? Will this interfere with the child's growth and development?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy should be given timely oxygenation. In severe cases, it is necessary to enter a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to inhale hyperbaric oxygen, which can alleviate symptoms. Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy can easily lead to brain injury, and it is generally prone to interfere with limb dysfunction, causing uncoordinated movements of the limbs. It may also slightly affect brain intelligence.
