Therapeutic hypothermia following perinatal asphyxia.
Well constructed and carefully analysed trials of hypothermic neural rescue therapy for infants with neonatal encephalopathy have recently been reported. The data suggest that either selective head cooling or total body cooling reduces the combined chance of death or disability after birth asphyxia. However, as there are still unanswered questions about these treatments, many may still feel tha...
متن کاملHearing, speech, and language in survivors of severe perinatal asphyxia.
Hearing, speech, and language were studied in 26 children who survived severe perinatal asphyxia. The results of hearing tests showed that most children had a favourable outcome. Only 1 child had sensorineural deafness. Hearing loss in 6 others was due to middle-ear disease which resolved after treatment, and on retesting was found to be normal. The study also showed that neither gentamicin tre...
متن کاملNeonatal Central Diabetes Insipidus Caused by Severe Perinatal Asphyxia
We describe three rare cases of neonatal central diabetes inspidus (CDI) caused by severe perinatal asphyxia. In these cases, hypernatremia, high plasma osmolality and hyposthenuria, with polyuria occurred after one week of age. CDI in one case might be due to the temporal dysfunction of hypothalamic-neurohypophyseal axis and the other two cases to permanent dysfunction. Although these cases ar...
متن کاملNeonatal Blood Gases and Outcome Following Perinatal Asphyxia
Objective: To determine how well neonatal blood base excess and lactate predict outcome following perinatal asphyxia. Study Design: Over 68 months, with around 9000 deliveries, lactate was measured on all blood gases taken from neonatal admissions, as well as mineral base and organic acid whenever electrolytes were required. Infants were classified according to their outcome more than 10 years ...
متن کاملNeurological Complications of Perinatal Asphyxia
The degree of asphyxia is best ascertained by measuring the amount of fetal acidosis determined by umbilical arterial blood. An umbilical arterial pH of less than 7.0 is seen in about 0.3% of deliveries.1 It indicates a severity of acidosis that places the fetus at risk for permanent neurological damage because of asphyxia. However, the outcome of infants with umbilical cord pH of less than 7.0...
