Question
How should neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy be treated?
Answer
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is brain damage caused by reduced or stopped cerebral blood flow due to hypoxia and various perinatal factors. It is generally categorized into mild, moderate, and severe degrees. Based on the examination results of your child, it is likely a mild case of HIE. Typically, the prognosis is good. It is recommended to closely monitor the baby, perform early motor training to promote brain function recovery, and have regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
