Question

My baby is 26 days old and a CT scan revealed brain hypoxemia and ischemia. How should it be treated? The doctor recommended a 10-day hospital stay. What should I do?

Answer

Your baby has been diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and requires aggressive treatment. Hospitalization is very important, especially in the first three days, which are crucial for symptomatic support. Please cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan to maximize the reduction of sequelae. The treatment period will last nearly 10 days.
