Therapeutic hypothermia in neonatal asphyxia
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is a serious condition affecting newborn infants which can result in death and disability. There is now strong clinical evidence that moderate post-asphyxial total body cooling or hypothermia in full term neonates results in long-term neuroprotection, allowing us to proclaim this innovative therapy as "standard of care." The treatment is a time-critical emergency...

Improvements in the resolution of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR) that have occurred in recent years permit more accurate localization and quantification of hypoxic-ischemic cerebral injury, which, in turn,...

متن کاملBirth asphyxia, Apgar score and neonatal encephalopathy.
As infant mortality rates decline steadily in South Asia, largely through a fall in post-neonatal mortality, increasing attention is turning to the perinatal period(l). Many studies in this region have demonstrated birth asphyxia to be a major cause of perinatal death(2). However, the contribution of birth asphyxia to the burden of neurodisability in developing country populations is still to b...
