Question
What does the presence of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy changes in the brain indicate? Does this mean the condition has become severe?
Answer
Mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy generally refers to newborn asphyxia or birth trauma, or it may be caused by conditions such as maternal hypertension during pregnancy, placental abruption, or umbilical cord around the neck. For mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, clinical symptoms may not be particularly obvious, or the condition may be completely cured after active treatment. However, the likelihood of spontaneous recovery is not high. Therefore, to accurately diagnose mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, it is necessary to use neurotrophic drugs to treat brain cells in a timely manner and to undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy when necessary.
