Treatment plan for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. What is the treatment plan for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy?

Doctor's answer:

If during labor, due to dystocia, the labor duration is prolonged, or the amniotic fluid contains meconium, this situation can easily lead to neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Based on the duration of aspiration, it is classified as mild, moderate, or severe. If the brain edema is severe, aspiration can easily lead to cerebral palsy. In severe cases, it may also affect other organs of the body, causing inflammation and impacting limb movement, etc. Treatment requires a combination of hyperbaric oxygen therapy and rehabilitation training.
