Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury: Mechanisms and Strategies for prevention and
نویسنده
چکیده
Most infants affected by hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) brain injury do not require surgical intervention. However, some of these infants as well as infants with certain congenital anomalies that place them at risk for H-I brain injury will present for surgical intervention. The incidence of H-I injury is estimated to be between 1 and 6 per 1000 live term newborns (Ferriero, 2004). Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury remains the major cause of long-term morbidity, in the form of motor and cognitive delays. The nature of the deficits is dependent on the gestational age and severity of the insult.

Objective: Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic with two mechanisms. The opioid and non-opioid mechanisms are responsible for tramadol side effects. Non-opioid side effects of tramadol are due to the reuptake inhibitions of serotonin and norepinephrine. Some of the side effects include anaphylactoid reactions, CNS depression, hypoglycemia, hypotension, respiratory depression, seizures, and seroton...
متن کاملMechanisms Underlying Neonatal Hypoxia Ischemia
Neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a common health problem and occurs in approximately 16 in 1000 term infants every year. After the initial hypoxic ischemic insult, brain injury evolves for days and possibly even weeks. The severity of the injury depends on the gestational age and duration of the insult. The exact underlying mechanisms of neonatal HIE remain undefined and many d...

Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury is one of the most severe diseases in the neonatal central nervous system (CNS). The pathological mechanisms of HI brain injury, including cellular apoptosis, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, etc., are complicated and not well known. Cellular processes such as angiogenesis, neuronal survival and neurogenesis have been proven to be closely associated with brai...

Neonatal brain hypoxic-ischemic injury represents a serious health care and socio-economical problem since it is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity of newborns. Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy is often associated with signs of perinatal asphyxia, with an incidence of about 2-4 per 1,000 live births and mortality rate up to 20%. In about one half of survivors, cere...

Hypoxic-ischemic cerebral injury that occurs during the perinatal period is one of the most commonly recognized causes of severe, long-term neurologic deficits in children; it is often referred to as cerebral palsy. Despite improvements in perinatal practice during the past several decades, the incidence of cerebral palsy attributed to intrapartum asphyxia has remained essentially unchanged, pr...
