Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurology doctor. How is HIE (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy) in newborns treated?Doctor's answer:
My hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is due to a clear history of respiratory distress. Shortly after birth, it manifested as cyanosis, poor responsiveness, low muscle tone in the limbs, and potential convulsions shortly after birth, followed by increased muscle tone. Improved cranial MRI showed increased density of brain parenchyma, suggesting neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Therefore, neurotrophic drugs were used for treatment, and follow-up visits were scheduled irregularly to monitor for the recurrence of sequelae.
