Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. What is neonatal encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is possible that the baby may have HIE (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy). Most often, it is likely to occur due to breathing difficulties or aspiration during birth. This condition generally requires hospitalization for treatment. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used in conjunction with medication to treat it. It is important to seek timely treatment to minimize the risk of brain complications in the baby and prevent potential long-term consequences. In some cases, this condition may affect the baby's future intelligence.
